Habitat for Humanity of Morgan County works in partnership with individuals in the community to construct or enhance homes where families can thrive. Through collaborative efforts, Habitat homeowners actively participate in the construction of their dwellings alongside volunteers and commit to paying an affordable mortgage. This support empowers Habitat homeowners to achieve the stability, strength and self-reliance necessary for a brighter future for themselves and their loved ones. 

To qualify for a Habitat home, applicants must reside in Morgan County, demonstrate a need for housing, meet Habitat’s income criteria, actively contribute to Habitat construction endeavors, and attend homeowner education classes.
