Making an Impact Since 1984

Habitat for Humanity of Evansville has been making a significant impact in the Evansville community since its establishment in 1984. Their mission is to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope. The organization firmly believes that housing plays a vital role in breaking the cycle of poverty. Habitat achieves its goals by partnering with the community, enabling low-income families in Vanderburgh and Posey counties to become homeowners.
