Chautauqua Area Habitat for Humanity

• founded in 1989
• an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, an ecumenical Christian housing ministry
• a non-profit organization offering a hand up, not a hand out
• has created home ownership with 24 working-poor families throughout Chautauqua County
• a 100% volunteer organization

Volunteers can make a difference! Individuals and groups are invited to donate their time and talents.

Homeowner Families are selected after an application process based on their need for decent housing, ability to pay on a no-interest mortgage and their willingness to partner with Habitat volunteers including working hundreds of hours of “sweat equity” on a Habitat house.
