Celebrating our 21st anniversary this year, we have completed 49 homes, housing 181 people, including 123 children in Norristown, Pottstown and Upper Dublin (66% of these are African American, 6% are Hispanic and 3% are mixed and 77% are single parent families). Over the past 10 years, we have tripled our production from our first 10 to completing 2-3 homes per year. In 2008, HFHMC built 7 homes, housing 18 people. We address the housing crisis in Montgomery County one family at a time, but the impact each family has can be felt and seen throughout the community for a lifetime.
The mission of Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County (HFHMC) is to eliminate poverty housing. In partnership with caring individuals and organizations, Habitat constructs simple, decent, affordable homes and empowers hardworking, low-income families to become homeowners by providing no-interest mortgages. Habitat families build equity, gain stability, and enhance our county's quality of life.
