Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people in Pasco County and around the Tampa Bay region, working together to build more prosperous and vibrant communities by making sure everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home.
How we build together
Our volunteers build homes alongside the people who will live in them; we advocate for policies and research new ways of working that make funding and building affordable homes easier.
Home construction
We create access to homeownership through new construction. Habitat for Humanity builds decent and affordable homes in partnership with families. Habitat homebuyers help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Our homes are built energy efficient, assessable, Water Star certified, and with Fortified Standards as our guide. Homes include Florida friendly landscaping and a homeowner's warranty.

Disaster response
Every year, natural disasters such as flooding and hurricanes affect thousands of people around Pasco County.
Through Habitat for Humanity of East and Central Pasco County’s ReBuild program, and with the help of volunteers and donors like you, we are able to provide shelter assistance, repair, roof replacement, grants and partnerships to the affected individuals who find themselves in unthinkable situations.
When a disaster strikes, the loss of a home can leave you at your most vulnerable. Habitat works to rebuild communities in these circumstances, moving them from ruin to recovery.

Financial education
At Habitat, we believe that financial education is critical to successful long-term homeownership and to building intergenerational wealth and improving health and education outcomes for families.
That’s why Habitat prioritizes helping families learn how to budget and save, preparing them to manage an affordable mortgage as homeowners.

Advocating for affordable homeownership
We advocate to:
- Increase the supply of homes for low- and moderate-income homebuyers.
- Expand access to homeownership for people of all backgrounds.
- Keep homes affordable and livable long term, ensuring homeowner resilience.
Habitat also supports policies that improve a variety of housing issues in Pasco County, around the state of Florida and U.S., as well as those that empower nonprofits like Habitat to pursue their mission.
