Habitat for Humanity - Lake-Sumter, Florida

Seeking to put God's love into action we bring people together to build homes, community, and hope. Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Habitat for Humanity of Lake-Sumter, Florida serves both Lake and Sumter Counties within the heart of central Florida by providing affordable housing solutions. On average, we build 15-20 new homes every year and repair & preserve another 30-40 homes. Although our direct service goes straight into Lake and Sumter counties, our reach extends internationally through a 10% annual tithe. Since our inception in 1989, we have built over 300 homes locally and partnered to build over 135 homes in Mexico, Haiti, Honduras & Guatemala.

Our Service Programs:

1) Home Ownership

We partner with families by providing opportunities for entry-level home ownership of a safe, decent, and affordable home.

2) Preservation & Repair

Serves existing homeowners through major and minor home repair
services to maintain the safety and affordability of their home.

3) Veterans Housing Initiative

Serves our Veteran community by providing unique housing and critical repair
services designed specifically for veteran/military families.

4) Domestic Global Village

Provides opportunities for individual and community enrichment through
the engagement of volunteers. The Domestic Global Village is a volunteer
center that allows Habitat to extend their reach into the community.

5) Youth Construction Academy

We know that vocational skills are just as much a path to financial stability and
security as anything else, this program aims to give students an early exposure to
the construction industry and is designed to provide a hands-on
education in valuable technical skills.
