Prison Build Program

THE PROGRAM

The Prison Build Program is a partnership between Habitat for Humanity of Michigan (HFHM) and the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) that provides Habitat partner families with affordable products built with high quality craftsmanship while also supporting the education of prisoners for their reentry into society. The finished products are then installed in decent, affordable homes by Habitat for Humanity affiliates. The program is generously subsidized through a grant provided by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).

For questions or to learn more about the Prison Build Program, please contact Nicole Schafer at NSchafer@habitatmichigan.org or Jason Vance at jvance@habitatmichigan.org.
