Habitat for Humanity Lake County

Habitat for Humanity Lake County (HFHLC) is an affiliate of Habitat International. Established in 1989, the sole purpose of Habitat for Humanity Lake County is to provide simple, decent and affordable homes that hard-working, low-income families can own.

We have served over 230 families in Lake County providing permanent housing for almost 900 people.

Habitat for Humanity Lake County also tithes 10% of our undesignated funds to build homes internationally. We have built over 300 homes in the Philippines housing over 1500 people.

Every night over 2400 people sleep in a safe, clean, decent and affordable home through the efforts of Habitat for Humanity Lake County.

Habitat in Lake County has also served 20+ families through our Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative program, which includes rehabilitation, weatherization, and A Brush with Kindness.

Habitat for Humanity Lake County partners with low-income, hard-working Habitat Partner Families using donations and volunteer labor. Habitat Partner Families fall within certain income guidelines, complete 500 hours of sweat equity, attend over 30 financial education classes and then purchase a Habitat home with an interest-free, no-profit mortgage.
