Mission:

Habitat for Humanity of Weber and Davis Counties is a faith based, nonprofit organization whose goal is to partner with local low-income families to help them build or renovate and then buy their own homes within our two-county service area. Habitat homes are simple, decent, safe, and affordable. Habitat homes are affordable for our partner families because:

- our families and other unpaid volunteers provide much of the construction labor

- we sell our homes to qualified low-income families at no-profit prices

- we provide no-interest home loans

- our home loans offer affordable monthly payments.

Statement:

Habitat does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, familial status, or because all or part of the applicant's income is derived from public assistance programs.

What's New

Wells Fargo Foundation Grant!

Wells Fargo Foundation, on behalf of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, has awarded our Habitat affiliate a $10,000 "Team Member Volunteer Program (TMVP)" grant to support the completion of our current Doxey Street Project. We look forward to hosting a big work party for local Wells Fargo team members at the Doxey Street worksite sometime in August (TBA). Since we also received a $17,500 TMVP grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation during 2006, the Foundation has now provided funding support for our Doxey Street Project in excess of $27,500! Thank you Wells Fargo for your generous and ongoing support of our mission to help local low-income families build, and then buy, their own safe, decent, and affordable homes! (posted: July 03 2009)

JakeFest is an annual community concert that honors the life of Jake Pratt, a wonderful boy who loved music and his friends. This concert honors his memory, showcases bands, and helps the community. His friends (all teenagers at the time of his death) created this event and have kept it going for 5 years now! This year, Habitat for Humanity has teamed up with JakeFest to make this the best year yet and help build some homes for families in need. We hope you will come enjoy this amazing event full of wonderful local talent and help raise funds for a great cause. (posted: June 24 2009)
