Habitat NYC is a non-profit housing developer that builds, preserves, and advocates for quality, affordable homeownership throughout the five boroughs for hard-working, low-to moderate-income families by engaging volunteers with the opportunity to participate in rebuilding their surrounding communities and uniting all New Yorkers around the cause of affordable housing.
We offer hard-working New Yorkers “a hand up, not a hand out,” helping families to build equity, financial stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership and financial education. We serve hard-working New York families – often including single parents, seniors, and public service employees – based on their need, ability to pay, and willingness to partner.
Since 1984, we have served more than 550 families in New York City through our construction and preservation efforts, and we are currently on track to double that number by 2020.
