Everyone deserves a place to call home

Since 1991, Dubuque and Jackson Counties Habitat for Humanity has empowered local families through affordable homeownership.  We believe affordable housing transforms lives and builds strong communities.

With the first-ever Habitat pocket neighborhood currently in progress at the Wood Street/Mt. Pleasant build site, there’s never been a better time to get involved.

Family Sitting on Steps

We build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

Habitat for Humanity partners with people in our local community to help them build or improve a place they can call home. Affordable housing plays a critical role in strong and stable communities.
