Mission & History

Our Mission

Habitat Greensboro is a Christian ministry that brings together people of all faiths to build quality, affordable homes and thriving neighborhoods where families can build better lives.

Our History

Habitat Greensboro was formed in 1987 by four Christians in response to their Habitat experience in Peru. As one of our founders says: “Time, sweat, perseverance and love have developed the vision into a successful organization and community.” They built five homes that first year, and quickly expanded to build 10 homes annually.

Twenty-five years later, Habitat Greensboro has expanded to almost 6,000 volunteers and 30 staff who build, renovate and provide critical repairs to 30 to 35 homes each year. See what we accomplished in 2011.

Our Future

We have big plans for 2012 and beyond. We’re striving to build more quality, energy-efficient homes for deserving families, to create thriving neighborhoods, and to strengthen families in the process.

The most important part of our future? You.
