Habitat AmeriCorps Homeowner Services Development

Habitat for Humanity's vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We believe affordable housing plays a critical role in strong, stable communities.

Since our founding in 1976, Habitat for Humanity has helped more than 46 million people build or improve the place they call home. Last year, Habitat for Humanity helped more than 7.1 million people build or improve the place they call home. An additional 5 million people gained the potential to improve their housing conditions through our training and advocacy efforts.

For one year, you can get paid to help build sustainable solutions in the community, gain valuable hands on experience and prepare for your future. With Habitat AmeriCorps, you can serve in your community or in several locations through the United States. Serve on an active build site or at a local Habitat office assisting homeowner families, volunteers and staff members.

Help strengthen communities through a year of service with Habitat AmeriCorps. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
