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.

Tutors help students young and old to better their education, improve their skills and gain more success in a field of their choice. Why should you consider becoming a tutor?

How can you encourage the children in your life to be active and volunteer with their community? We have some ideas for how to get kids involved in giving back.

There are plenty of ways to get involved in your community this month. To get you started, we came up with six spooky-fun volunteering ideas for October.
