BLACK HILLS AREA HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Black Hills Area Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian ministry founded in 1990. We maintain a local board of directors, staff, home building operation, retail outlet and construction salvage center while working in covenant with the global movement of Habitat for Humanity International.
Habitat’s purpose is to eliminate poverty housing by constructing decent, affordable houses in partnership with local families. Habitat works with people from all walks of life to build and pay for all materials required to build our partner family homes. Each home is constructed by the community, for the community, and includes thousands of volunteer hours, in-kind contributions of land and materials as well as professional services.
Habitat is not a home giveaway program. We offer a hand up, not a handout, to those in need. All our partner families pay a mortgage and are required to work 500 hours per couple (250 per individual) in “sweat-equity throughout the home construction process.
