What We Do

Habitat for Humanity Valley of the Sun, an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, is an independent, locally run, nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization. We build affordable housing for low-income families in need of adequate shelter.

Habitat homes are built through partnerships. Local governments partner through land grants and revitalization efforts; foundations, corporations and individuals partner through donations for home construction; collaborating agencies partner to educate our families on being first-time homeowners; and the general public and the future homeowners partner to build the homes together.

Families purchase the home with a 0% interest mortgage to maintain affordability. The homeowner makes monthly mortgage payments to Habitat’s “Fund for Humanity”. These proceeds can only be used for land acquisition or home construction; a reinvestment in future generations.

Habitat homeowners’ futures brighten due to a stabile, healthy environment that provides space to live, to grow and to dream. Communities blossom as neighborhood revitalization increases property values, stabilizes the workforce, lowers crime and fosters cooperation.
