Building strength & stability
through affordable homeownership

A community where
everyone has a place to live.

We believe every neighborhood can be a good place to call home. Here in the Capital District, communities are working to overcome the effects of decades of housing discrimination, disinvestment and practices like redlining. Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a stronger future, and we believe that healthy and affordable homes are the foundation for people and communities to thrive. 

The Habitat model

    Habitat for Humanity builds new homes and rehabs vacant buildings with a combination of professional and volunteer labor.

  • Homeowner Support

    Habitat sell homes for an affordable price to first-time homebuyers. We provide comprehensive support to ensure homebuyer success.

  • Neighborhood Revitalization

    Habitat partners with organizations and coalitions in our community to improve quality-of-life issues.
