Organizational Background

Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley (HHHV) is a dynamic, progressive nonprofit organization that seeks to enrich our whole community through a legacy of affordable homeownership for households of low-income in Washtenaw County. Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley began its work in Washtenaw County in 1989.  Since then, we have renovated and sold over 260 homes to low-income buyers, completed over 8,000 home repairs for low-income households, provided financial counseling to over 1,800 households, and engaged with more than 10,900 community residents and partners in neighborhood revitalization activities.

In our dedication to diversity, we celebrate and embrace cultural differences as we strive to create an organization reflective of the broader community we serve.
