About Us

A world where everyone has a decent place to live.

OUR MISSION

Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

About Habitat for Humanity of Autauga and Chilton Counties

Habitat for Humanity of Autauga and Chilton Counties is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities and hope on a local level. We are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and supports worldwide efforts through constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.

We have just broken ground on our 50th home as we continue to revitalize local communities that thrive. In addition to eliminating substandard housing in our area and repairing homes for those in need or in response to disaster relief in central Alabama, we have also served another 19 families in South America, have tithed to Poland, Haiti, and orphans worldwide.

We are a member of the Alabama Association of Habitat for Humanity which supports all statewide affiliates in serving our local communities in need.   

All Are Welcome

Habitat for Humanity of Autauga and Chilton Counties has an open-door policy: All who believe that everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live are welcome to help with the work, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, political views or any of the other distinctions that too often divide people. In short, Habitat welcomes volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds and also serves people in need of decent housing regardless of race or religion as an equal-opportunity lending organization. As a matter of policy, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations do not proselytize. This means that Habitat will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith, or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
