ABOUT GLOUCESTER COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
At Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity, we believe that everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. With the help of permanent affordable housing solutions, families embark on an immediate path to financial stability & self-reliance that transcends generations. Beyond the family unit, homeownership helps Gloucester County preserve the available workforce, often preventing families from leaving the county to seek a better life. In traditionally underinvested neighborhoods, homeownership instills long-term residents with a vested interest in maintaining, advocating for, and investing in resources/ improvements for their neighborhood. Studies provided by Habitat for Humanity International, based on GCHFH’s data, shows homeownership is foundational to child development and growth. Homeownership lifts families from instability, stress, and fear, and encourages self-reliance and confidence. To learn more about Gloucester County Habitat for Humanity, visit gc-habitat.org/.
