Garrett County Habitat for Humanity is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles seeking to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities and hope. We believe in the principal that every man, woman and child should have a safe place to live in dignity and that decent shelter should be a matter of conscience and action for all.
Make a Secure Donation
We Offer a Hand Up, Not a Hand Out.
Garrett County Habitat for Humanity, founded in 1983, typically builds three houses each year. These homes are sold, not given, to approved homeowner applicants. Homeowners pay low monthly mortgage payments toward the full ownership of their homes with a 0% interest, 30-year loan. Moving into and owning a home improves the quality of life for residents and instills a sense of pride and responsibility which comes with home ownership.
Your tax-deductible donation helps us fulfill our mission.

Join the Square Foot Club
Building homes and hope one square foot at a time.
Our goal is decent, affordable housing for all Garrett County residents. Your annual commitment to sponsor one or more square feet in a home at $100 per square foot positively impacts families, communities and the economy of our region. Having a house to go home to every day and night mean families are able to stay in our county, keep children in our schools, pay property taxes, and reinvest in local businesses.
