About Habitat Kent Homes

Beyond the Home

At Habitat Kent we build high-quality, energy efficient homes that remain owner occupied and affordable for generations. We have a variety home styles that range from single-family standalone homes, attached single family, condos and rehabs.

Going the extra mile to make an impact.

Long-term Affordability Covenant

  • Ensures long-term affordability of the home
  • Sales price determined by buyer affordability
  • Home must be your primary residence
  • Upon selling, new buyer must fit within income requirements
  • Resale price is capped in order to keep the home affordable
  • Restriction stays with the home for 90 years

Long-term Homeownership

In the Habitat Kent program, we ask homebuyers to partner with us in affordable homeownership. As part of this, homes are required to be resold to a buyer who will occupy the home. This ensures home are not sold and become rentals.

High-Performance Construction

Sustainable practices at Habitat Kent means going beyond the four walls of a home to reach the critical aspects of a sustainable life—health, affordability, and access. One of the ways we do this is by implementing green building practices. Since 2007 our homes have been Energy Start rated and since 2023 all our homes are all-electric, saving homeowners significantly on their utilities.

Types of Habitat Kent Homes

At Habitat Kent, we believe sustainable practices are only practical when they are passed down to the next generation of builders, volunteers, leaders, and homeowners. We do this through a wide variety of education programs and partnerships engrained in the DNA of our mission.
