HFHMSCO helps homeowners who struggle to maintain the exterior of their homes, allowing them to reclaim their homes with pride and dignity. We work in conjunction with our core building program to serve more families. We are part of Habitat’s broader community development strategy called Neighborhood Revitalization.
Neighborhood Revitalization is designed to pursue Habitat for Humanity’s strategic imperative of helping to transform and strengthen communities so that those who reside in them will be able to live and grow into all that God intends for them. HFHMSCO helps revitalize the appearance of our neighborhoods, we strengthen connections within the community and help preserve affordable housing stock.
