Housatonic Habitat for Humanity is people working in partnership to build homes for the inadequately sheltered, creating self-reliant families and enriched communities. We build simple, comfortable homes in partnership with people of compassion and future homeowner families.

Volunteers provide most of the labor; individuals and corporate donors provide money and materials.

Description:
Habitat for Humanity International, headquartered in Americus, Georgia, was founded by Millard and Linda Fuller in 1976 with the conviction that every person should have a simple, decent, affordable place to live. Today the organization:

• completes a new home, somewhere in the world, every 30 minutes
• is among the largest U.S. homebuilders, in terms of units completed annually

History:
Housatonic Habitat for Humanity was chartered in 1991 to bring the national organization's mission to the Danbury area. We have built over 15 homes in the greater Danbury area and have plans to continue building in this area.
