Habitat For Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester

Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester is a nonprofit housing organization. Our mission is to build homes, communities, and hope. Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally through constructing, rehabilitating, and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all. At Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester (HFH-MW/GW), our motto is “A hand up, not a handout.” We are dedicated to building houses with families, not for them. We partner with hardworking families who earn between 30% – 60% of the area median income and do not qualify for other homeownership programs. Not only do Habitat families pay for their homes through a monthly mortgage, they also put in between 400 and 500 hours of sweat equity prior to becoming homeowners. Habitat homes are built completely through donations and volunteer labor of individuals, organizations, businesses and foundations throughout the MetroWest and Greater Worcester areas that have chosen to partner with HFH-MW/GW to eliminate substandard housing in their communities.
