Programs That Work Together to Solve Housing Needs

Everything We Do Builds Toward One Goal

Every program we run works together to create affordable homes and stronger communities across Wayne County.

Homeownership Program

When owning a home feels out of reach, families need a realistic path forward. We partner with families to build and purchase homes with affordable, no-interest mortgages that support long-term stability.

Habitat ReStore

Many usable materials go to waste while families struggle to afford home essentials. Our ReStore turns donated goods into funding for home builds while offering affordable items to the community.

Volunteer Opportunities

People want to help but often don’t know where they fit. We provide hands-on opportunities—from construction to retail—so everyone can be part of building something meaningful.
