Our Mission and Vision
Habitat for Humanity partners with people in our community
to help them build or improve a place they can call home.
Everyone deserves a decent place to live.
No matter who we are or where we come from we all deserve to feel strength and stability day after day.
We deserve to know we have the power to take care of ourselves and build our own future. Every day, Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County builds strength, stability and self-reliance in partnership with people in need of a decent and affordable place to call home.
As a future homeowner going to the build day after day, I worked side by side with a diverse group of neighbors, each with their own experiences and points of view. In spite of our differences, or maybe because of them, bridges were built. What binds us are not superficial labels that we often use to define ourselves, but something deeper and universal: our humanity.” – Karolyn, a Habitat Homeowner
We don’t have to look very far in Williamson County to see that more and more families find themselves in a struggle to keep a decent roof over their heads.
Too many of us have made at least one trade-off to cover our rent or mortgage. Trade-offs include cutting back on health care and healthy foods or moving to a less safe neighborhood or even moving in with a friend or another family.
