Habitat for Humanity Montgomery County, a nonprofit that builds homes for those in need, is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.

Over the past 35 years, the nonprofit has built and repaired more than 300 homes in the area, development and marketing coordinator Ashlie Pair said in an email.

The details

Founded in 1989, the organization advocates for affordable housing in Montgomery County by:
  • Constructing and renovating homes
  • Helping families achieve home ownership
  • Using thousands of volunteers to help with efforts
“Through these efforts, Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County ... has not only addressed immediate housing needs but has also fostered a more resilient and empowered community over the decades,” Pair said.

Habitat for Humanity Montgomery County has multiple different programs and initiatives that impact the area, such as:
  • The homeownership program, which provides affordable mortgage options.
  • The home repair program, which assists homeowners with critical repairs like plumbing, roofing or electrical work.
  • The neighborhood revitalization initiative, which focuses on improving existing homes and public spaces.
  • Educational workshops, which provides workshops on financial literacy, home maintenance and budgeting for homeowners.
