Habitat For Humanity of Northern Virginia

Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia (Habitat NOVA) brings our communities together to build decent, affordable housing for people in need. Habitat NOVA's unique model provides a “hand up” to homeownership through sweat equity, donor generosity, volunteer labor and interest-free mortgages.

Homeownership provides more than just a place to live; it gives families the foundation necessary to build a better life. Habitat’s program creates stability for homeowners and their families.

Your support will help give our neighbors the strength, stability, and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their communities.

Mission

Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia (Habitat NOVA) provides a "hand-up to homeownership" by drawing together the time, talent and resources of our community to build decent, affordable housing for our neighbors in need.  

Stable housing, like that provided by affordable homeownership, provides families a sense of pride, financial security and an environment in which their children can thrive.
