The goal of Habitat for Humanity of Northwest CT is to build/rehabilitate homes in Falls Village/Canaan, Cornwall, Norfolk, N. Canaan, Salisbury, & Sharon.

Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.

Habitat For Humanity of Northwest Connecticut is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Connecticut works in partnership with families priced out of the housing market to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those partners with a no-interest mortgage.
Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families are required to work 400 hundred hours - "sweat equity"- in building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving fund that is used to help build more houses.
