Our Mission:
Our mission is to provide decent, affordable housing to low-income Watauga County residents. We do this by building modest homes with volunteer labor, land and materials that are donated or purchased at reduced cost. Habitat offers zero interest mortgages to the home owners. Homes are sold at no profit. We strive to be consistent with Habitat for Humanity International’s mission and to exemplify the gospel of Jesus Christ in all of our activities.


Our Goals: To build more houses in the near future to continue to meet the growing needs of families in Watauga County

To increase support and involvement from local residents, churches, businesses and professionals in the community to advance the Habitat mission
