Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County
Mission
To build safe, decent, affordable homes and empower families through strength, stability, and self-reliance.
Why It Matters

Their approach reduces generational poverty, creates stability for families, and builds stronger neighborhoods from the ground up.
