Building a future of affordable homeownership

The holidays remind us how important it is to have a safe place to call home, a place where families can grow, celebrate, and dream. But, it is important all year long.

At Habitat for Humanity of Dutchess County, we partner with working families to make the dream of homeownership possible, transforming lives and building stronger communities in the process.

As the cost of housing continues to grow faster than wages, homeownership remains out of reach for too many people across the Hudson Valley. The Habitat Dutchess team is working hard to address this problem together with our community partners, and we are expanding our work in different ways:

• Through land donations and acquisition, modular construction, and larger scale projects, we are serving both urban and rural parts of Dutchess County as an affordable housing developer for first-time homeowners.
• Our repair program addresses long-deferred maintenance and provides accessibility upgrades, maintaining our current housing stock and ensuring older adults can safely age in place. We have recently extended this program into Putnam County.
• We will expand access to Financial Education and make sure that more young adults and families benefit from free classes on credit repair, budgeting, home purchasing education, the mortgaging process, and critical maintenance.

But we cannot do this without your support. Please join us in celebrating the power of home.

Every dollar counts. When you make a donation, even if it's a small amount, you join thousands of other people whose donations come together to build stronger communities.
