Welcome to Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County

At Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County, we know that many families right here in our community live in dangerous, unhealthy housing and struggle each day just to survive. It’s our goal to help ease that burden and help families realize the American dream of home-ownership and self-sufficiency.

Habitat for Humanity builds simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with those in need. Families purchase the houses at cost, with a zero interest mortgage and they are required to complete four-hundred hours of ‘sweat equity’ working alongside volunteers to build their homes. Habitat families must be legal US citizens, have a current housing need, and a willingness to partner in the building of their home. Habitat is definitely a hand up, not a hand out. Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and business donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses.


Building: We now have opportunities for volunteers to build affordable homes in Bergen County.  To learn more about the upcoming volunteer opportunities click here.

While building our homes we need your help and would like to partner with you by raising funds for material needed to continue to build.  For additional information, please contact the Habitat office at 201-457-1020.


Our Mission
To provide decent, affordable homes for hardworking Bergen County families.  We join in a common goal with other affiliates of this international organization to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the face of the earth by working in partnership with people in need.  Using volunteer labor and donated funds and materials, Habitat builds or rehabilitates simple, decent, homes and sells them to low income families at cost but with no interest charged.  Habitat is a people-to-people partnership, which joins all of us together regardless of race, nationality, religion or socioeconomic status.
