Kalamazoo Valley Habitat for Humanity

At Kalamazoo Valley Habitat for Humanity, we’ve been bringing people together since 1983 to build  homes, community, and hope. Our founders created this agency by embracing a worldwide vision and  an incredible formula for success — commitment, collaboration and empowerment at the local level.  We’re a better community for it. We’ve helped create stability and financial independence for families  throughout our region by leveraging donor funds and the work of volunteers. And our ReStore complements this work, selling mostly lightly used home goods at prices 50-70 percent below average  retail costs. But the need to do this important work has never been greater. With more than half of the  homes in some neighborhoods built in the 1930s and before, with limited housing stock at that, we’re a  working solution to the affordable housing crisis. We’ve built more than 200 houses and done repair  work on thousands of homes these past 40 years. Habitat’s board of directors is responsible for  establishing policy and guiding the organization’s efforts to build or improve affordable housing in  partnership with families across Kalamazoo County and parts of Allegan County.
