Habitat for Humanity of South Central New Jersey

Habitat for Humanity of South Central New Jersey is an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Habitat operates through local affiliates to maximize our impact.

Our Mission: Putting faith into action, Habitat for Humanity of South Central New Jersey brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

Vision: A world where everyone has a decent place to live.

At Habitat, we build homes, communities, and hope.

Habitat does not give away houses. We partner with hard-working families who dream of homeownership and are willing to work for it.

We offer affordable mortgages with little down payment required, and Habitat homeowners make monthly mortgage payments that don’t exceed 30% of their gross monthly income. Habitat homeowners are determined to create a permanent solution to their housing struggles.

Each Habitat partner family must complete hours of “sweat equity” to build their home.

Why Homeownership Matters:

In addition to the financial advantages of owning a home, there are many social benefits of owning a home as well. Homeownership gives families stability, creates lower high school dropout rates, and of course gives the opportunity to create meaningful and lasting relationships.

In addition to new construction, we renovate and provide repairs for local homeowners in need.

By providing affordable home repairs, our Neighborhood Revitalization Program preserves homeownership for low-income residents while addressing critical health and safety concerns.

With our skilled construction staff and the help of volunteers, qualified homeowners can find help with a variety of interior and exterior repairs. Partnering homeowners are left with a new sense of pride and the ability to enjoy their homes for years to come.
