About Us

Building better homes and lives - one house at a time. We are currently building two houses at once in Xenia - one at 565 Chestnut St and one at 723 E. 2nd Street.

Our Mission:

  • Help eliminate substandard housing in Greene County
  • Meet the International goal worldwide by tithing 10%
  • Make housing issues a matter of conscience and action
  • Motivate and challenge others to become involved
  • Recruit volunteers for fund raising, acquire donated materials, house building, labor & administrative purposes
  • Build partnerships - bring diverse people together who share common goals

Habitat for Humanity of Greene County is an ecumenical Christian housing ministry that works in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all walks of life, to develop communities with God’s people in need. HfHGC builds and renovates houses it sells to families, so there are decent houses in decent communities, in which people can live and grow into all God intended.
