The Gwinnett Habitat Story

Inspired by the success of Habitat for Humanity International, which since its founding in 1976 has provided housing for more than a million people world-wide, a group of local citizens decided to take on the need for decent, affordable housing in Gwinnett County.

In 1988 they founded Gwinnett Habitat, and since then we’ve helped to meet that need, one family at a time. Our partnerships with local businesses, churches, and volunteers from all walks of life have constructed more than 110 new homes, and put over 250 children in Gwinnett County schools!

The need for affordable housing has risen in the two decades since Gwinnett Habitat began. And the cost of construction has risen dramatically, too.

But Gwinnett Habitat is committed to be part of the solution, for as long as it takes, until the time when no family in Gwinnett County has to raise children in unsafe, sub-standard conditions.

With your help, we can do it!
