Building Hope by Building Homes

There is a tremendous need for affordable housing in our community. One in three families in our community is cost-burdened, meaning they pay too much of their income toward housing at the expense of other necessities like groceries, healthcare, and education.

To help meet this need, Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County provides homeownership opportunities with an affordable, income-based mortgage for families between 45 – 80% AMI. We also work to preserve existing affordable homes through our Repair Program. We also advocate for policy change that will increase access to housing for everyone.

Since 1985, Habitat Forsyth has built more than 400 safe, affordable, energy-efficient homes in Forsyth County. We’ve served nearly 1,000 families with new construction, home preservation and global building.

We can’t do this work alone: a core mission tenet is bringing people together. We are able to build, preserve and advocate because of support from faith groups, corporations, foundations, other non-profit organizations, municipalities, individual volunteers and donors.
