Volunteers building together

Home
Build

We partner with families on Oahu to achieve strength, stability and self-reliance through homeownership.

Home Build Program

Habitat homebuyers help build their homes alongside volunteers, participate in financial education classes, and pay an affordable mortgage. Through this partnership, each family has the opportunity to build and purchase their own decent home with an affordable non-profit mortgage.

When hard-working families are surrounded and supported by determined volunteers and generous donors, a future full of opportunity is built.
