Started in 1976, Habitat for Humanity built its 200,000th home in 2005.
Habitat for Humanity of Morgan County is a nonprofit Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating substandard housing in Morgan County, Alabama. We provide opportunities for the community to show God’s love in action in partnership with people in need, as we break the cycle of poverty by providing decent, affordable housing and improving the quality of life of our partner families.

Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.  Check out our CONSTRUCTION CALENDAR to see where we currently need volunteers.
