About Habitat for Humanity of Douglas County

Habitat builds and repairs homes - Since 1997, Habitat for Humanity has built, repaired or renovated more than 174 homes in Douglas County impacting 425 individuals. 

Habitat builds strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter - Three criteria are considered when selecting homebuyers: the need for housing, ability to pay and willingness to partner. In addition, homebuyers must have lived or worked in Douglas County for at least one year. Each homebuyer invests 200 hours of sweat equity throughout the homebuilding process. 

Aging in Place is a program that partners with people age 62+ or older to make improvements to the safety, accessibility or energy efficiency of the home.

Habitat reuses at the ReStore - The ReStore is a nonprofit home improvement store and donation center that sells donated building material, furniture, and appliances. Profits support the construction of affordable housing in Douglas County.  

Habitat builds globally - 10% of unrestricted general contributions are donated to support construction projects overseas.
