Our Faith

Habitat for Humanity of Durham is a Christian organization, although we actively partner with homeowners and community groups of all faiths, creeds, and religions. Habitat is an equal opportunity lender, and the beliefs of homeowners play no part in the selection process. We work with people regardless of race or belief.

Habitat Success Stories

Pearlie's home was so damaged that neighbors thought it was abandoned. Habitat partnered with the City of Durham to replace Pearlie's roof, a damaged wall, and exterior siding. Pearlie said, "It lifts my spirits. Habitat volunteers are beautiful people."
