This year Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C. & Northern Virginia celebrates 35 years of building, preserving, and sustaining affordable homeownership across the DC metro region.

Over our 35 years, Habitat DC-NOVA has become a cornerstone housing provider offering working class families the ability to own a home and build their own brighter futures upon its foundation.

As our community faces unprecedented and rising housing costs, more and more families are being priced out of quality housing and forced into unsafe, overcrowded living conditions.

We’re asking for your partnership to pave the way for more families to have access to the life-changing stability of homeownership over the next five years

At Habitat DC-NOVA we believe everyone deserves housing and everyone plays a role in providing community housing solutions. Our aim is for all people to be able to engage in our work and see themselves reflected in Habitat’s mission.

As part of our 35th Anniversary, Habitat DC-NOVA is excited to offer various Spotlight Builds that honor and celebrate the diversity of our communities. Spotlight Builds are dedicated build campaigns engaging and highlighting women and gender non-confirming folks, LGBT+ individuals, faith partners, and more.

These builds are a great way to demonstrate support for the diverse people and experiences of our community while engaging your employee resource and affinity groups.
