About Lauderdale County Habitat for Humanity
Lauderdale County Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a non-profit, ecumenical Christian organization committed to providing families with the life-changing opportunity to purchase and own decent, affordable homes. Habitat for Humanity builds homes for hard-working, low-income people, and future homeowners put in hundreds of hours of sweat equity, share the labor of homebuilding, and participate in valuable training and preparation sessions. In return, their lives are transformed by the positive experience of working with their community in building their home, and the many benefits that come from having a place to call home.
