Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C. & Northern Virginia
Our Cause
Our Mission is to reduce poverty and housing instability in the national capital area by creating and preserving decent, affordable, and energy-efficient homes for DC & NOVA residents with low and moderate incomes.
Our Impact
- While most well known for our construction program, Habitat DC-NOVA also provides home repairs and modifications for seniors in our region. These repairs allow seniors to age in place in their homes and communities.
- Last year, we had 4,000 volunteers who served over 25,000 hours on our construction sites, ReStores, and other projects.
- Habitat DC-NOVA operates three ReStores, discount home improvement stores and donation centers, in Alexandria, Chantilly, and Herndon. Funds raised at the ReStores help support DC & NOVA families in building stronger foundations for their future through affordable homeownership.
