Everyone deserves a decent place to live.

COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Update
From the desk of our Executive Director: Dear Clay County Habitat for Humanity supporter, I am writing to provide an update about the measures Clay County Habitat is taking to protect our staff, volunteers and the people we serve during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Who does it take to build a Habitat house?
In every Habitat home, you find the work and dedication of many people, all working with a common goal: helping another family build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.
Community volunteers play an essential role in our mission of eliminating substandard housing in Clay County. Volunteers can help in a variety of ways, both on the construction site and in non-construction capacities.
Thank you to our sponsors.
