About us

Our Mission
We are a faith-based housing ministry bringing people together to
build homes, communities, and hope in York.

Who are we? 

York Habitat for Humanity is a volunteer driven, Christian housing ministry that builds safe, decent, and affordable homes in partnership with lower-income York County residents living in substandard housing. Funded mainly by private donations, York Habitat provides a “hand up, not a hand out” by offering qualified families interest free, 30 year mortgages. With the completion of York Habitat’s 136th home in 2019, over 750 local community members live in Habitat Homes in York County! Since 1985, York Habitat has created over $7.8 million worth of new or rehabilitated affordable housing, which generates more than $383,000 in tax revenue. Over 8,950 volunteers work with York Habitat annually.

Why are we here?

Our vision is to create a community where everyone has a safe, decent, affordable place to live. Virtually nowhere in the U.S. can a full-time minimum wage employee afford a one-bedroom apartment. Even 2 such jobs won't rent a two-bedroom apartment in 29 states and the District of Colombia. York Habitat for Humanity is at work in York County right now to give people in need a hand up so that they can afford a safe place to live.

What are our values?

Diversity and Inclusiveness – We believe that all people deserve a decent place to live and we welcome people from all walks of life to participate in our program.
Homeownership – We believe in the power of homeownership to encourage hope, build equity, transform lives and build communities.
Partnership – We believe in drawing families and communities in need together with volunteers and resources to build homes and strengthen neighborhoods.
Stewardship – We are committed to the sustained and efficient use of our financial, environmental and human resources to support our mission and values.
Volunteerism – We believe in the volunteer spirit and are committed to offer a rewarding volunteer experience.
Collaboration – We believe in creating strong and productive relationships within the local community to support our mission.
