Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland

Mission: To put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build and repair homes, communities and hope.

Many families in Bradley County are in need of decent and affordable housing, which might be anything from overcrowding, homelessness, unsafe living environment, structural damage or a variety of other needs. Habitat provides a long-term impact that changes a family’s life forever. Habitat homeowners partner with Habitat for Humanity through working sweat equity hours, completing homeowner courses and paying a zero percent interest mortgage on their home. Habitat works with families to build better lives in order to build stronger communities.

We put faith into action by helping to build, renovate or preserve homes, and by partnering with others to accelerate and broaden access to affordable housing as a foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty.  We advocate for just and fair housing policy to eliminate the constraints that contribute to poverty housing. And, in all of our work, we will seek to put shelter on hearts and minds in such powerful ways that poverty housing becomes socially, politically and religiously unacceptable.

We implement and support this work through the construction of homes and our ReStore, both supported by volunteers.
