Habitat for Humanity of Anderson County believes everyone should have an affordable, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all. Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Working alongside each other, we help families and individuals build and improve places to call home and achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves.
