About Us
Central Vermont Habitat for Humanity, powered by local volunteers, brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.
Vision
A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Mission
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope
Focus on Shelter
We have chosen, as our means of manifesting God’s love, to create opportunities for all people to live in decent, durable shelter. We put faith into action by helping to build, renovate, or preserve homes, and by partnering with others to accelerate and broaden access to affordable housing as a foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty.
Advocate for Affordable Housing
In response to the prophet Micah’s call to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God, we promote decent, affordable housing for all, and we support the global community’s commitment to housing as a basic human right. We will advocate for just and fair housing policy to eliminate the constraints that contribute to poverty housing. And, in all of our work, we will seek to put shelter on hearts and minds in such powerful ways that poverty housing becomes socially, politically, and religiously unacceptable.
Promote Dignity and Hope
We believe that no one lives in dignity until everyone can live in dignity. We believe that every person has something to contribute and something to gain from creating communities in which all people have decent, affordable places to live. We believe that dignity and hope are best achieved through equitable, accountable partnerships.
Support Sustainable and Transformational Development.
We view our work as successful when it transforms lives and promotes positive and lasting social, economic, and spiritual change within a community; when it is based on mutual trust and fully shared accomplishment; and when it demonstrates responsible stewardship of all resources entrusted to us.
Demonstrate the Love of Jesus Christ.
We undertake our work to demonstrate the love and teachings of Jesus, acting in all ways in accord with the belief that God’s love and grace abound for all, and that we must be “hands and feet” of that love and grace in our world. We believe that, through faith, the miniscule can be multiplied to accomplish the magnificent, and that, in faith, respectful relationships can grow among all people.
Non-Proselytizing Policy
Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations will not proselytize. Nor will HFH work with entities or individuals who insist on proselytizing as part of their work with HFH. This means that HFH will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
Rooted in
Central Vermont
Since 1989, Central Vermont Habitat for Humanity has brought local volunteers, homeowners, donors, and community partners together to build and rehabilitate affordable homes across our region. Today, we serve Washington and Orange Counties while supporting a local collaboration in the Greensboro area, creating lasting homeownership opportunities that strengthen families and communities.
People Make it Possible
Affordable homeownership takes a whole community. Central Vermont Habitat for Humanity brings together staff, board members, volunteers, donors, local businesses, and nonprofit partners to plan, fund, and build affordable homes across Central Vermont. Every role helps create lasting housing opportunities for local families.
