The People Behind Habitat Springfield

Habitat for Humanity of Springfield thrives only through the support of our community. Without the many hours our community volunteers and partners contribute and without the wisdom and dedication our daily support staff and board of directors provide, Habitat Springfield could not build shelter for local families who need it.

Building homes, hope and communities takes dedicated effort, and Habitat Springfield has built a dedicated network of individuals, families and corporations who share our belief that all people deserve safe, decent and affordable housing.
