Habitat for Humanity Greater Fresno Area

habitat for humanity fresno county does not build houses for families; we facilitate a partnership among families who demonstrate need, the ability to pay the mortgage, and a willingness to partner in the construction of their home. this partnership also engages community supporters who join the families in the home building process and provide both financial and in-kind support for building supplies and materials. homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor, or “sweat equity,” into building their habitat house and they pay back a no-profit, no-interest mortgage. since 1985 habitat fresno has helped over 800 families improve their shelter situation.
