At Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County, we know that a house is more than just shelter.

A safe, affordable home has the power to transform the lives of our homeowners and their families.

You make a difference by supporting Habitat Orlando & Osceola. Here’s how:

You help to foster prepared homeowners

Through partnering with Habitat, our homeowners work to earn their safe, affordable home. They contribute 75-150 hours of ‘sweat equity’ on our construction sites – and take eight homeownership classes.

These requirements are a key part in ensuring that our homeowners are ready for the responsibilities of homeownership, from paying a mortgage to maintaining their house. Prepared homeowners can become stable members of their community.

You empower local people to thrive

Once they pay an affordable mortgage, homeowners – and their families – are free from high rents, the threat of eviction, and/or unsafe housing conditions. They are then better able to thrive.

When housing is no longer a stressor, homeowners can turn their attention to obtaining higher education, better healthcare, nutritious food and more.
