Wells County
Serving Wells County Families
Our goal for the 2026-27 season is to build one Habitat home in Wells County. With the help of the community, we’re looking forward to what the future will bring as we strive to serve families throughout Wells County in need of affordable housing.
Families interested in applying for the Homeownership Program who have lived or worked in Wells County for at least a year can visit our Become a Homeowner page for more information.
Seeking to put God’s love into action to build homes + communities + hope
Family Feature: Kelley Family
As a family of five, the Kelley family is thrilled for their new Habitat home — a place with more space for their children and a yard to play in. “I’ve had an amazing support group with our church family, my in-laws, and I just thank everyone for making this possible. This home means more than you’ll ever know,” shared David.
