Habitat for Humanity Capital District is a nonprofit construction organization focused on creating affordable, sustainable homes in the Capital District of New York, based in Albany. It partners with lower-income families to pursue homeownership, carrying out construction with the help of volunteers and donations of money and materials. Homes are not provided free; they are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with low-interest mortgages, while homeowners contribute hundreds of hours of their own labor. The model seeks to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. In the broader construction and affordable-housing sector, the organization operates from Albany to serve the Capital District. In December 2022, Habitat Capital District acquired three vacant properties from the Albany Community Development Agency, the Albany County Land Bank, and Housing Visions.
