Helping People Build a Stronger Future
Like many communities across the country, Kent County is in an affordable housing crisis. Thousands of local households are living in overcrowded, unsafe, or unaffordable housing. Habitat for Humanity of Kent County works with individuals and families of all sizes, colors, ages, and backgrounds to help everyone build a safe and healthy home base to pursue their dreams.
