We're about people helping people, working together to make a difference.

Building Houses - Building Hope
Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds simple, decent and affordable houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families.

Transforming Lives & Communities
Since its founding in 1985 (First Affiliation in Oklahoma), our Local Chapter of Habitat for Humanity and its supporters have built 27 homes for Enid, Oklahoma families.

Providing No-Profit Mortgages
Our program is designed to make home ownership possible for low-income families that don't qualify for traditional loans, but have demonstrated the ability to repay a Habitat mortgage and are in urgent need of a safe, decent place to live.

Home

Promoting Dignity and Self-Reliance
Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with zero interest mortgages. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build still more Habitat houses. Habitat offers a hand up, not a hand out.

Promoting Sustainable Development
As an authorized affiliate of Habitat for Humanity, our office coordinates all aspects of Habitat home building in the Enid, OK area, including fundraising, building site selection, partner family selection and support, house construction and mortgage servicing.

Building Leadership and Teamwork
In addition to the monthly mortgage payment, partner families invest 350 hours of their own labor - sweat equity - into building their home and the homes of others.

It takes a special kind of student who prefers spending their Spring Break building a new home and building new friendships instead of heading off to a Florida beach with the masses of other students. Watch their progress as this home is built from the ground up. View progress
