About 'Home Site Repair' Project:

Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver builds and preserves affordable housing. While our organization is best known for building new homes, we also partner with existing homeowners on essential home repair projects so they can continue living in safe, decent and affordable homes for many years to come.

Habitat Metro Denver is currently offering two different home repair programs. One program focuses on exterior home repairs in Denver's Westwood, Globeville and Elyria Swansea neighborhoods. These home repair projects often include a new roof, new siding and paint, porch repairs and energy efficiency projects such as new doors and windows.

Habitat Metro Denver also offers an aging in place program where we partner with homeowners aged 65+ on interior home modifications, like safety bars, improved lighting and floor repairs.

Members are welcome to bring a guest - note that all volunteers must be 6 years of age or older. Registration closes Friday, March 13 or when spots are filled. 


About Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver

Mission:
Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.

Vision:
A world where everyone has a decent place to live.

People in our community, and all over the world, partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers, and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.

History:
Habitat for Humanity was established in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. The Fullers wanted to address poverty housing on a global scale through “partnership housing”. The Fullers' concept of partnership housing centers on those in need of adequate shelter working side-by-side with volunteers to build simple, decent houses. Habitat homeowners' partnership includes contributing "sweat equity" by building alongside volunteers and taking homeownership classes. Habitat homeowners pay an affordable mortgage on their homes.

Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver was established in 1979 by a group of passionate volunteers. These volunteers worked tirelessly to fundraise, acquire land, select families and manage all of the logistics to build the first Habitat homes in Denver. Since then, Habitat Metro Denver has become one of the largest affiliates in the U.S., celebrating the construction of our 600th home in 2016.

Today Habitat for Humanity has served more than 1 million families around the world, completing the construction or repair of a home at the rate of every 4 minutes.
