Fauquier Habitat for Humanity

Why Support Fauquier Habitat for Humanity? Simply put, Fauquier Habitat is building homes that fit the needs of our community: homes that are accessible, energy-efficient, beautiful, and most importantly, affordable. Homes where families can begin to build equity and change their families' financial landscape for generations to come. Homes where our neighbors can take pride in where they live and the role they play in our shared community. 

We believe that shelter is not a privilege — it’s a human need. Decent, affordable housing plays a key role in a family’s education, health, wealth and well-being. However, not every household has the same opportunities to succeed. Homeownership is a key driver of American household wealth. But structural inequality in the U.S. housing market has widened homeownership disparities compared to when the Fair Housing Act was passed in 1968.

In Fauquier County, where the average price of a three-bedroom home tops $600,000, homeownership is unattainable for many, including our teachers, firefighters and police officers. The delays and cuts occurring within the federal budget further affect rural communities like Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties, which rely on USDA and other federal agencies for down payment assistance and low-interest financing. 

So, we are turning to you, our community of supporters, to help. Help us continue to partner with local families and veterans to unlock the dream of homeownership. Because an investment in Fauquier Habitat is an investment in your neighbors, the future of our county, and ultimately all of us who live here. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your generous support.
