Welcome

Habitat For Humanity in Whatcom County is a local, self-sustaining affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International -- a nonprofit, Christian organization that secures land and builds affordable houses for families of any faith that need a home. Families participate in the building and then purchase their new home with $500 down and a no interest mortgage. By the end of 2009, with the help of thousands of volunteers and generous donations, we've completed 27 homes and housed more than 128 people in Whatcom County, and contributed to 41 more homes for people living in San Ramon, Costa Rica our sister affiliate.

We can only be an expression of local community values; in our county we're fortunate to have hundreds of companies, churches and individuals who make Habitat For Humanity work. And as more people like you, hear about us and join the challenge, the more positive our impact can be!
