Want to Know More?

Habitat for Humanity, or simply Habitat, is an international, non-governmental, non-profit organization devoted to building "simple, decent, and affordable" housing.

• Our vision: a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
• Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller and his wife, Linda.

Habitat for Humanity of the Mississippi Gulf Coast was formed on January 1, 2007 when HFH Harrison County and Jackson County HFH merged. Since the merger, we have nearly 500 homes completed or under construction. We also now serve Harrison, Jackson and Stone counties. 

How does Habitat work?

• Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses alongside our homeowner partner families.
• In addition to a down payment and monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor into building their Habitat house and the houses of others.
• Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with affordable loans.
• The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments are used to build still more Habitat houses.

HFHMGC also provides financial education courses for those who might want to get on the right financial track. To find out information on classes please visit here.
