Central Vermont Habitat for Humanity, powered by local volunteers, brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. We build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Your support helps us build affordable housing and increases economic stability through mortgaged homeownership.
​
Central Vermont Habitat for Humanity, LLC is an affordable housing non-profit. We build and rehabilitate housing and offer affordable, zero or low interest, mortgages for income-sensitive Vermonters. We are located in Vermont's state capital, Montpelier, and serve Washington and Orange Counties. 

Families selected are those who are in need of housing but are unable to get a conventional loan. Read more about how a family can apply and be selected here.  Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor (sweat equity) into building their new home.


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

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

Mission Principles:


Focus on shelter.

We have chosen, as our means of manifesting God’s love, to create opportunities for all people to live in decent, durable shelter. We put faith into action by helping to build, renovate, or preserve homes, and by partnering with others to accelerate and broaden access to affordable housing as a foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty.


Advocate for affordable housing.

In response to the prophet Micah’s call to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God, we promote decent, affordable housing for all, and we support the global community’s commitment to housing as a basic human right. We will advocate for just and fair housing policy to eliminate the constraints that contribute to poverty housing. And, in all of our work, we will seek to put shelter on hearts and minds in such powerful ways that poverty housing becomes socially, politically, and religiously unacceptable.


Promote dignity and hope.

We believe that no one lives in dignity until everyone can live in dignity. We believe that every person has something to contribute and something to gain from creating communities in which all people have decent, affordable places to live. We believe that dignity and hope are best achieved through equitable, accountable partnerships.


Support sustainable and transformational development.

We view our work as successful when it transforms lives and promotes positive and lasting social, economic, and spiritual change within a community; when it is based on mutual trust and fully shared accomplishment; and when it demonstrates responsible stewardship of all resources entrusted to us.


Demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ.

We undertake our work to demonstrate the love and teachings of Jesus, acting in all ways in accord with the belief that God’s love and grace abound for all, and that we must be “hands and feet” of that love and grace in our world. We believe that, through faith, the miniscule can be multiplied to accomplish the magnificent, and that, in faith, respectful relationships can grow among all people.


Non-proselytizing policy

​Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations will not proselytize. Nor will HFH work with entities or individuals who insist on proselytizing as part of their work with HFH. This means that HFH will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
