Geauga County Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat International, but we receive no financial support from our parent organization. We are a non-profit ecumenical Christian housing ministry dedicated breaking the cycle of poverty, one family at a time. We help build simple decent homes for families in need, right here in Geauga County.

We are not a charity, but we are a charitable organization. In other words, a Habitat home is not free. Families we partner with are hard working and must commit to 500 sweat equity hours. They must also be able to pay back a no-money down, no- interest loan. This is how Habitat offers a hand up…not a hand out!

Mission: To work in partnership with God and people in need of a foundation for a better future through affordable home ownership. We will be a resource for assisting and encouraging them as responsible citizens of the community.

Land is the SINGLE GREATEST OBSTACLE to meeting the need — due to both cost and the rural, undeveloped nature of the eastern portion of the county. If you have land that you would like to donate or sell at a charitable discount, please contact the our office at 440.564.5848

Build Geauga
Our building efforts are in Geauga County, Ohio. We typically build 3 to 4 homes per year for families in need. Nearly all labor is donated by volunteers and we also receive many in-kind donations of construction materials.
