Since 1994, Habitat for Humanity of Okaloosa County has built 40 homes in partnership with individuals, churches and local businesses to create affordable housing opportunities for hard-working neighbors.  Families work hard, building their homes side-by-side with volunteers, and repaying their Habitat-held mortgage so that they might prove a better future for their children.

The importance of a decent place to live can't be overstated, for with it comes stability and promise, family unity, hope and a foundation from which individuals and societies reach their full potential.  Habitat for Humanity offers a hand-up, not a hand-out, to those in need.
