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

Our mission:  Together with our communities, Habitat for Humanity of Tompkins and Cortland Counties puts faith and love into action by building homes and hope.

Habitat for Humanity of Tompkins and Cortland Counties is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a global, nonprofit housing organization working in nearly 1,400 communities across the United States and in approximately 70 countries around the world. We build strength, stability and self-reliance in partnership with people and families in need of a decent and affordable home.

Habitat for Humanity of Tompkins and Cortland Counties partners with first-time homebuyers in our community to help them build or improve a place they can call home.  Habitat homebuyers invest “Sweat Equity” hours by working alongside our volunteers to build their own home or the homes of other Habitat families.  In addition to construction, homeowners-to-be earn Sweat Equity by volunteering at events, assisting with administrative tasks, and taking financial and homeownership training classes.

Upon completion of construction, Habitat homeowners purchase their house and pay an affordable mortgage.  These mortgage payments are used to fund construction of more Habitat homes.  With your support, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and for their families.

Volunteers of all ages and abilities help build our homes, and we partner with contractors and material suppliers to obtain discounted or donated materials and services, to help keep our construction costs down.  Our affiliate is committed to building as energy-efficient and environmentally friendly as possible, while still ensuring that our homes are decent and affordable.
