About Habitat

Our Mission: Muskegon County Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization based on Christian principles that strengthens families and neighborhoods by building decent, affordable, energy-efficient homes for low-income families in Muskegon County. We achieve our mission through successful partnerships with volunteers, churches, organizations, and individuals who fund and construct our homes.

Muskegon County Habitat for Humanity is an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a non-profit, Christian housing ministry serving God’s people worldwide.

Our Program: Muskegon County Habitat for Humanity serves qualified homebuyers regardless of race, religion, background, or handicap according to Fair Housing standards. Family selection is a year-round process. Families in need of better housing with regular income between 25-50% of Area Median Income are encouraged to pre-qualify at any time.

Affordable homeownership creates new opportunities for families and their children through the building of a lifelong asset and the safety and security of a permanent and decent home of their own. It also stabilizes and strengthens neighborhoods through the long-term presence of stable residents and increasing market value.

Our Homes: We build family friendly, affordable, energy-efficient homes throughout Muskegon County. Each home is built in partnership with homebuyer families, sponsors, and volunteers from throughout the community.

Our Homeowners: Besides performing 400 hours of sweat equity as their down payment, homeowners also attend workshops on financial literacy and home maintenance so they are well prepared to be successful homeowners.
