We are a faith-based organization that envisions Miami and Shelby Counties as a place where every resident has access to quality and affordable homeownership opportunities.
We seek to build self-sufficiency for residents in need through the life-changing opportunity of homeownership. We want to see vibrant neighborhoods where engaged homeowners participate in building safe and healthy communities.
HFHMSCO offers an opportunity for self-sufficiency, by providing a once in a lifetime opportunity to build a long-term investment for your future. Habitat homes are affordable thanks to volunteer labor and community support.
Selected Habitat homeowners pay a modest down payment, invest up to 400 hours of “Sweat Equity” in the construction of their home and are responsible for monthly mortgage payments and upkeep.
The ReStore is a home improvement outlet store, open to the public, that sells donated new and gently-used merchandise at a significant discount. All proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity of Miami and Shelby Counties, OH. Prices are 50 - 75% below retail, making home improvement possible for many who could not otherwise afford it.
If you need to make some space, we would like to hear from you! If you are remodeling, getting new furniture, downsizing, moving, upgrading, or just cleaning out the garage, don't throw away your usable things! Bring it down to the ReStore and give it a new life. We can even pick up the big stuff.
HFHMSCO helps revitalize the appearance of our neighborhoods, we strengthen connections within the community and help preserve affordable housing stock.
Our services include painting, landscaping, yard cleanup and minor repairs that create significant exterior improvements on owner-occupied homes. These projects usually take one to three days to complete.
“Habitat basically does a search for three kinds of things: need, someone who can pay for that home and partner with us to get education and help with other people’s homes. We’ve found that person in Kelly,” he said. “She’ll be a shining example of what a neighborhood person should look like.”

Troy, OH, April 5, 2016 – Habitat for Humanity announced today that Airstream, Inc., makers of the iconic silver-bullet travel trailers, is sponsoring a Habitat “Build” in Jackson Center, Ohio. Airstream will provide $80,000 in sponsorship funding for the build, which is scheduled to take place later this year.
In addition to providing financial support, Airstream will coordinate volunteer recruitment for the project and document the build with photography and video assets. Airstream will also provide public relations support and plan the groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies.
“Airstream feels it is important to support and give back to our local community where many of our associates live and raise their families,” said Bob Wheeler, president of Airstream. “We are proud to support Habitat for Humanity’s ‘Build’ in Jackson Center and hope this project will not be our last.”
People from Miami and Shelby County and all over the world partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.
Habitat has secured property for the “Build” in Jackson Center. Habitat is able to make homeownership affordable by offering mortgage loans with flexible terms and zero-interest or zero-equivalent, to low-to-moderate (LMI) families. Monthly payments are recycled back into the affiliate, which helps support the long-term sustainability of Habitat’s programs.
“We are excited about the opportunity to have Airstream and the Jackson Center community be a part of this first Shelby County Build since the affiliates consolidated in 2015,” said William Horstman, executive director at Habitat for Humanity of Miami and Shelby Counties, Ohio. “We hope to engage interested civic, religious and governmental parties in this endeavor.”
Habitat is looking for a seasoned construction site-supervisor and knowledgeable group of three to five volunteers to serve as the on-site construction project management team for the “Build.” This team will be assisted by Habitat’s construction committee. Contact the Habitat office directly (937-332-3763) to become a member of the Shelby County Construction Team.
Applications for housing are being accepted until June 1, 2016. The application form and cover letter are available at www.hfhmco.org. Please, print, complete and submit to the Habitat office.
Airstream associates interested in applying for housing should contact their Human Resource department.

Habitat for Humanity of Miami County, Ohio, has officially changed its name to Habitat for Humanity of Miami & Shelby Counties, Ohio (HFHMSCO). The change was effective January 1, 2015.
We are “working quietly” behind the scenes to broaden the reach of the Habitat mission. The following article captures the “major” businesses behind our strategic initiatives.
Last fall the Board of Trustees for Habitat for Humanity of Miami County, OH (HFHMCO) approved to incorporate the assets of the dissolving Habitat affiliate in Shelby County.
Last December the mortgage service for five Shelby County Partner
Families was completed, as was the title transfer for five vacant lots.
Currently we are processing the expansion of the Geographical Service
Area (GSA) to include Shelby County.
Over the past months we have initiated the “relationship building” with the Shelby County Commissioners, City of Sidney, Sidney Chamber of Commerce, Shelby County Regional Planning Commission, The Community Foundation of Shelby County, Shelby County Continuum of Care, and other nonprofit agencies and local businesses. We invite other Shelby County organizations; businesses and nonprofit agencies to contact us to explore future relationships.
