Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County

Mission

Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.

Description

No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve to have a decent life. We deserve to feel strength and stability day after day. We deserve to know we have the power to take care of ourselves and build our own futures. At Habitat for Humanity, this is what unites us, particularly in an age of so much uncertainty. Our shared vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Because you, me, we - we're all humans. And every single one of us deserves the opportunity for a better future.

In beautiful Jefferson County, sandwiched between the Olympic Mountains and the Salish Sea, you will find some of the most expensive housing in Washington State. Those who work in the tourism industry or in support of our large retired population can't afford what it costs to buy or rent a decent place to live. Working minimum wage? It'll take you 70 hours a week to afford the Fair Market Rent of $1,500. As a result, Jefferson County is losing its young families.

People partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Families who partner with Habitat are extremely grateful for your help. A decent home gives them the strength, stability and independence they need to create a better life for themselves and their families.

Your financial support will help bring strength, stability and independence to families in need of a decent place to live. Together we can do this. Please donate!
