Habitat for Humanity of Sumner County brings people together to build, repair and finance safe, affordable homes across Sumner County.
Home is the foundation everything else is built on
We are the Sumner County affiliate of Habitat for Humanity. We partner with local families who need a decent, affordable place to live — and then we build alongside them. Habitat homes are not free: homeowners contribute 200 hours of their own labor per adult, help build their house, and buy it with a mortgage they can actually afford.
Every mortgage payment goes back into building the next home. Alongside new construction, our Home Repair program keeps older neighbors, veterans and residents with disabilities safe in the homes they already have.
Every safe, affordable home sparks wider change
