We are a Habitat for Humanity non-profit affiliate in located in Kane County, Illinois. We are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide, and work in partnership with people of all faiths and races to develop communities for people in need by building and renovating houses, while creating home-ownership opportunities based on the premise of providing a hand up; not a hand out. As an affiliate, we are a grass roots organization that is independently operated under the greater Habitat Covenant. We independently coordinate all aspects of Habitat home building in our area with fundraising, building site selection, partner family selection and support, house construction, and mortgage servicing. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that affordable shelter in safe communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.
