Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County

Mission: To provide decent, affordable homes for hardworking Bergen County families.

We join in a common goal with other affiliates of this international organization to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the face of the earth by working in partnership with people in need.  Using volunteer labor and donated funds and materials, Habitat builds or rehabilitates simple, decent, homes and sells them to low income families at cost but with no interest charged.  Habitat is a people-to-people partnership, which joins all of us together regardless of race, nationality, religion or socioeconomic status.

Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat Bergen builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families.  Habitat Bergen houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments are recycled into a revolving fund that is used to build more houses.
