What We Do:

Habitat for Humanity Detroit provides a "hand up", not a "hand out" to families in need in the city of Detroit.

We offer our partner families an opportunity to help themselves, to own a decent, affordable home of their own, which they pay for and maintain.

Partner families invest hundreds of "sweat equity" hours building their homes and the homes of others. Houses are sold at no profit and with no interest charged. Mortgage payments are placed in a fund used to finance additional houses.
