Every home is a building block
When we build better homes, we build better communities. Local families partner with Habitat for Humanity to build decent and affordable homes right here in Dubuque and Jackson Counties.
What do we mean by decent and affordable?
-
Decent
Habitat houses are modestly sized. They are large enough for homeowners’ needs, but small enough to keep construction and maintenance costs affordable
-
Affordable
The labor of volunteers and partner families, efficient building methods, modest house sizes and no-profit loans make it affordable for low-income families to purchase Habitat houses.
Recent and upcoming home builds
Wood Street Project
The Wood Street Project is our first Planned Unit Development (PUD) in the Dubuque and Jackson Counties area. Fourteen moderately sized, single-family homes will be built on approximately three acres in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood.
Groundbreaking is set for March 2025 on this multi-phase development and the first four houses will be completed by July 2025.
