Who We Are

Habitat for Humanity partners with people in our community to help them build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With your support, Habitat homeowners achieve strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and for their families. Through our FY2021-25 Strategic Direction, Habitat for Humanity of Miami and Shelby Counties will serve more people than ever before through decent and affordable housing.

About Habitat for Humanity of Miami and Shelby Counties

Organized by Shirley Saxton beginning in the summer of 1991, we became an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International on November 1, 1992. In 2015, we extended Miami County HFH territory to include Shelby County. In May 2016, the Habitat ReStore relocated to 1490 W. Main Street, Troy. Net proceeds earned by the ReStore are used to fund our mission. Since 1992, Habitat has helped over 60 families and has directly impacted 231 lives through helping families realize the American dream of homeownership.

All Are Welcome

Habitat for Humanity of Miami and Shelby Counties, OH has an open-door policy: All who believe that everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live are welcome to help with the work, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, political views or any of the other distinctions that too often divide people. In short, Habitat welcomes volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds and serves people in need of decent housing regardless of race or religion.

As a matter of policy, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations do not proselytize. This means that Habitat will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversation to a particular faith.

Habitat for Humanity International

Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. Millard gave up a successful law practice and dedicated his life to eliminating poverty housing. Over the years, the mission of Habitat has become increasingly well-known through high profile volunteers such as Jimmy Rosalyn Carter and Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.
