Service
Never Ends
Service doesn’t end when military service does. Together, veterans continue to serve by building stronger homes and communities.
Habitat for Humanity of Illinois helps raise awareness, supports capacity building, and provides resources to empower Habitat affiliates while they are on the ground making a difference in their local communities.
Together, We Empower: Our 2026 Annual Report is Available Online
“Together, We Empower” captures the spirit of our work. It is a recognition that lasting change happens when people come together with a shared purpose. Homebuyers bring determination and hard work. Volunteers bring their time and skills. Donors and corporate partners provide essential resources. Habitat affiliates bring expertise and a commitment to serving their communities.
Save The Dates!
Habitat Illinois hosts three events each year to raise funding and visibility for Habitat’s mission in the Chicagoland area: a regional Veterans Build (November 6-7), a black-tie reception through First Look for Charity (February 12, 2027) at the Auto Show, and an annual Habitat Hero Award Dinner (June 17, 2027).
Stronger Together Across Illinois
Effective June 30, Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity and Habitat for Humanity of Illinois have merged to strengthen support systems, expand statewide reach, and increase access to affordable homeownership opportunities across Illinois.
