About Staunton-Augusta-Waynesboro Habitat for Humanity

Staunton-Augusta-Waynesboro Habitat for Humanity was established in 1993.  In 2011, we completed the building of our 51st home locally and 72nd home globally. 

Homeownership for families who earn less than median income in our area (52k a year /or/ $25 an hour) depends on the willingness of the federal, state, and local governments, as well as the private and public sector, to address the problem.  Without it, we have taken away the hope of the working poor.  

Habitat is a model that works.  We use volunteers to help build simple, decent, and  affordable homes. 

Homeowners are selected based on need, ability to repay a no-profit loan, and their willingness to give 250 hours of “sweat equity.” 

This self-help building program allows those  making $8-12 an hour a chance at homeownership and a better life.  

Our homeowners are stakeholders in the communities they join.  Decent shelter provides a security in their lives they have never known. They are a stable, taxpaying part of the community that has helped them become so.

 We hope you will help us, not only build homes, but build and restore lives and communities through faith, and the love of Jesus Christ.
