About Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver

Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver was established in 1979 by a group of passionate volunteers. These volunteers worked tirelessly to fundraise, acquire land, select homeowners, and manage all the logistics to build the first Habitat homes in Denver. Since then, we have served more than 2,400 homeowners locally and globally, and we are currently the sixth largest Habitat affiliate in the United States.

Individuals and families who partner with Habitat invest their own time, energy, and resources to become homeowners. Our homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. In addition to building new homes, we partner with existing low-income homeowners and seniors on home repairs to ensure homes remain safe and affordable for many years to come.

With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability, and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.
