About Us
Montgomery County Habitat for Humanity is a chartered affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI). It is governed by a local Board of Directors.
Our Mission
Montgomery County Habitat for Humanity is a volunteer-based organization that works in partnership with God and people from all walks of life to improve the quality of life in our community by building and/or renovating houses so that there are simple, decent, affordable homes in which people can live and grow into all that God intends.
Our History
- Began as a volunteer only operation in 1989.
- Closed on first home in December 1990.
- Hired first staff member in 2001.
- Opened the ReStore, a home improvement resale shop, on July 15, 2005.
- Dedicated the 50th home in 2008.
- Began construction on the first 6 homes in Cedar Creek, Montgomery County’s Habitat-only neighborhood, in 2009.
- Closed on a record-breaking 10 homes in 2009.
- Streets were poured in Section II of Cedar Creek during 2011, and construction began on these lots in 2012.
Looking Ahead
Since opening the initial phase of the 37-acre Cedar Creek neighborhood to development in 2009, 29 homes have been dedicated or are currently under construction. The Phase 2 streets, drainage, and other infrastructure were completed in 2011. This Habitat home neighborhood will eventually accommodate almost 90 single-family homes, green space and a community garden. There are plenty of homes to be built on the available lots in Cedar Creek over the next few years; however, the pace of building the remaining homes is largely dependent on having corporations and other organizations committing to being a home sponsor. In addition to the ongoing construction in Cedar Creek, HFHMC will continue to build homes in other parts of the county.
