Welcome to Habitat for Humanity Grand Traverse Region

Habitat Volunteers Build a Home

 

Habitat for Humanity Grand Traverse Region is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. We serve northern Michigan's Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties.

ReStore

Open Monday - Saturday

1129 Woodmere Ave.
Traverse City

Selling new and used building material, household items and fixtures. Open to the public. Visit us today!

Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged. Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses.

Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor—sweat equity—into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.

 

 

         

  We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation.  We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
