San Luis Valley Habitat For Humanity

Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Working with volunteers and partner families, we build simple, decent, affordable housing with 0% interest mortgages. We envision a world where everyone has a place to call HOME.

About

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry building simple, decent homes in partnership with those in need of affordable housing. Our Vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Habitat invites people from all walks of life to join in the mission to eliminate poverty housing worldwide. We unite people around the concept of “putting God’s love into action” along with others from all faiths or with no faith convictions who are interested in helping those in need of improved shelter. {see HFHI policy}

Families qualify based on their need for decent housing, willingness to partner with Habitat, and the ability to repay a mortgage. Interested families can contact us with any questions.

SLV Habitat for Humanity began in 1994, and has served 20 families & households in the Valley. The San Luis Valley is one of the most economically challenged regions in Colorado, and we know that there are many who are in need of decent, affordable housing. Our goal is to begin building 2 houses per year (about double the rate we are currently building). We can achieve this goal with the help of more local volunteers.

Most of our homes are built with adobe bricks and make use of passive solar heating. These responsible building techniques help make housing truly affordable through lower energy bills.

Will you help us provide decent housing for those in need? We invite you to join with us in whatever way you are able. Help us build hope by building houses.
