Rockbridge Area Habitat

Rockbridge Area Habitat for Humanity (HFH) is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. 

Habitat offers a hand up, not a hand out.  It provides housing solutions to low-income families and works in partnership with people in need to build safe, decent, affordable housing, and make critical repairs to existing housing. 

Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide the bulk of the money and materials to build houses.  Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor, "Sweat Equity", into the building of their own homes and the homes of others.  Their mortgage payments are recycled and used to build homes for future families.
