Welcome!
Founded in 1986, Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven (an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the elimination of poverty housing through the creation of homeownership opportunities for low-income working families. Habitat builds and rehabilitates homes in the Greater New Haven area with the goal of creating safe, decent, affordable houses that add to the revitalization of New Haven’s neighborhoods. Habitat accomplishes its mission by partnering with individuals, religious and civic organizations, local business and corporations.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven is now using Volunteer Up! to schedule and manage individual volunteers. It is a very easy system that allows you to register yourself and sign up for shifts at the build sites! Please click above to register and to see what dates are available.
Volunteer groups still need to contact Ellen McNally, Volunteer Coordinator, at (203) 785-0794 or emcnally@habitatgnh.org to schedule a date.
[Please note: Scheduling for Vernon Street is still being done through the office because the house is almost complete. First available date to schedule is May 1 for the Congress Avenue-Phase 2 site.]
Check the Volunteer Up! calendar regularly to see when and where we are building.
If you have questions, please call the Volunteer Coordinator at (203) 785-0794, x.10.
