Habitat for Humanity Northwest Harris County was established in 1989 by 12 area churches as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. We are a non-profit 501-c-3, faith based, volunteer driven organization dedicated to eliminating sub-standard housing. We are one of eight Habitat affiliates in metropolitan Houston. Since its inception Habitat Northwest Harris County (NWHC) has built almost 140 homes. In 2005 we built 15 homes and in 2006 completed 20 new homes. However, our focus goes beyond just building houses; we are building communities that stress the well being and future of the families who live in Habitat homes. We are committed to doing what we can to help these families be successful in their new neighborhoods. Our most recent step in this direction is the new Robert Strudler Community Center at Cherie Cove, a joint partnership with the Cypress Creek YMCA. Habitat NWHC does not give homes away; we partner with families looking for a ‘hand-up’ and help them build their new home. Most Habitat homes are 3 bedroom 1 bath and contain about 1120 square feet. We have built a number of single house-single slab homes, but have probably constructed more duplexes than any other Habitat affiliate in the country. In the fall of 2004 Habitat NWHC opened it’s building supply resale store, the ReStore. It has two main goals: generate a profit that can be used to build additional Habitat homes, and help the environment by re-cycling used items that would probably otherwise go to local landfills. The store handles building materials, construction products, appliances and furniture and is open to the general public from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on Mondays through Saturday. Donations of gently used items are also always in need. Thank You for Helping Us Change lives!
