Habitat for Humanity is known throughout the world for its unique building model,
in which volunteers work alongside the families who will own the completed
homes. HabitatNYC has adapted the model to work in New York City's complex
urban building environment.
HabitatNYC acquires land and buildings from the City of New York's Department of
Housing Preservation and Development and other governmental agencies for a
nominal fee. Professional architects design our buildings and professional
contractors build the exterior shells to conform to the city's strict building code.
Once the exterior is complete, volunteers and HabitatNYC family partners build
the interiors and complete the finish work.
HabitatNYC has Completed Construction projects in the Bronx, Brooklyn,
Manhattan and Queens, with Current Construction ongoing and Future Construction
projects planned throughout the city. We welcome your support to help us build
decent, affordable homes. Please consider a donation of funds or materials.
