Our Mission
Habitat for Humanity of Washington County has a mission to provide safe, decent, and affordable homes for low-income families in need. Habitat is a hand-up, not a hand-out.  Families contribute hundreds of hours of “sweat equity” and pay back a no profit, no interest home loan with affordable monthly payments.  Families also take financial management classes and gain skills for self-sufficiency and successful homeownership.
