Having this home built in my hometown of Huntington is really special to me. This town has helped make me, me. Habitat takes families’ dreams and makes them a reality. Home security and a home for our kids to grow up in is truly special, thank you all.

Habitat for Humanity in Huntington County
The majority of our Huntington County builds have been located in the town of Huntington. Families interested in applying for the Homeownership Program who have lived or worked in Huntington County for at least a year can visit our Become a Homeowner page for more information.
2 Homes in 2024 and Beyond!
We’re very excited to be back in Huntington County for the 2024-25 Build Season. Each season, we’ll build two affordable homes in Huntington for hardworking Habitat Partner Families from Huntington County.
Derek
Habitat Homeowner
Shiann + Derek
Shiann and Derek are parents to two energetic children. As someone who doesn’t typically push herself out of her comfort zone, Shiann is so thankful and proud she applied for the Habitat program. Not only does their new home give them more space to spread out as a family, but it has also created equity and increased their financial security.
Shiann shared that her favorite part of the process was helping build the first walls of their home. “We’re most looking forward to the holidays, the birthday parties, and all the memories we’ll make. We love you all for your time and generosity, thank you!”
To our Huntington family: “We’re inspired by all of you for devoting your time, energy, and money to something so selfless. Thank you for making this opportunity possible for me and my family; we feel so blessed.”
My boys will never worry about having a place to stay. I’m working hard so they have better opportunities — I want them to have better than I have. I will kick down those doors so they can walk through them.
Joseph
Habitat Homeowner
Meet Joseph
Joseph was a gunner in the military for many years before being discharged due to an injury he sustained while on duty. Despite his physical disabilities, Joseph is always pushing himself to help others, even before helping himself. He’s excited to prove to himself and his family that you can overcome obstacles and good things come to good people. In his new home, Joseph plans to train therapy and service animals for fellow veterans.
“I’ve struggled most of my life to get where I’m at, and today is a blessing. I couldn’t have done this without everyone who came together from the community to make this happen. Without you, I wouldn’t have this opportunity and I cannot thank you enough.”
