Mission

Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County seeks to build affordable housing at no profit through a combination of volunteer labor, sweat-equity and no-interest mortgages. We act in partnership with the community as a diverse group, including individuals, partner families, faith groups, civic organizations, local schools and businesses. We reach out from Christian roots across denominational, faith, economic and racial lines to bring together people who are concerned for their neighbors. We strive to develop and empower individuals and communities through the construction of simple, decent homes. Currently, we are the largest Habitat affiliate in the Northeast region. We have built or renovated 139 homes since 1986.
