Who Are They?

Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity is a Christian ministry that builds quality, affordable homes in partnership with deserving families. Since their incorporation in 1986, Dallas Habitat and its contributors have built over 627 homes and served as a catalyst for the revitalization of 20 communities. Each year they partner with hardworking families and the community to build 70+ homes, making Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity the largest nonprofit homebuilder and the sixth largest homebuilder overall in the City of Dallas, as well as the third largest Habitat affiliate in the United States.

Who Do They Help?

Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity provides affordable housing opportunities to families no other nonprofit or private mortgage lender in Dallas is able to serve. Their partner families must meet several criteria to qualify and earn 25-60% of the Average Median Family Income (AMI), or $16,625 - $39,990 for a family of four. Qualified families are required to provide 400 hours of ‘sweat equity’ in lieu of a down payment, which is fulfilled by building their own home and the homes of other Habitat families.
