Mission

Habitat for Humanity is an independent, nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that partners with people of all beliefs.  Knoxville Habitat for Humanity has been an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International since 1985.  We build simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with those in need.

 

Since 1985, Knoxville Habitat for Humanity has sold homes to nearly 400 families in Knox County who:

  • Invested 500 hours of “sweat equity” through budget classes, home maintenance and construction programs.
  • Built their own home with the help of Habitat friends.
  • Pay a combined total of more than $100,000 a year in local property taxes
  • Purchase their homes with 25-30 year, 0% interest mortgages.  Their monthly payments go into a revolving fund to help provide for the construction of additional homes.

Homeownership is a big part of The American Dream. At Knoxville Habitat for Humanity, we are a proud partner with individuals and families who are living in substandard housing conditions who want a safe and comfortable place to call home.

From donations of money or land to cars and items we sell, here’s how you can help.

Learn construction skills, meet new people and share yourself for a great cause.
