Calendar of Events

Please be sure to sign up for our mailing list so that we can stay in touch about our needs for our 19th home build -- tentatively scheduled for the late summer of 2017.

3rd Tuesday of each month: Board of Directors Meeting, conference room of Maine Savings Federal Credit Union @ 5:30p.m. (Please email director.hchh@gmail.com if you're interested in attending as a prospective new Board member.)

Equal Housing Opportunity

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, age, marital status, sexual orientation, or sources of income.

Hancock County Habitat for Humanity is in compliance with the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 3601-3619 and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, 5 U.S.C. SECTION 1691-1691F (ECOA).

Habitat’s primary program is partnering with economically disadvantaged individuals and families to build homes and provide the benefits of homeownership. Through the use of volunteer labor, we are able to build market-quality housing with the homeowner investing their own “sweat equity” in the project. We then sell the completed home to the partner family at below market cost, financing the home under a zero interest mortgage (0% APR).

WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS AT THIS TIME, having already selected our 19th partner family — on whose house we plan on beginning construction in the late summer of 2017. We anticipate that applications will be available again in the fall or winter of 2017 in advance of our 20th build. Please continue to check our website for information or feel free to call or stop into our main office (207-667-8484 – 218 Downeast Highway, Ellsworth, ME). We strongly encourage you to apply when the cycle re-opens.

This quote really underscores the meaning and desired outcome of our home-building ministry: “I have come to believe that I belong—which is as much a part of Habitat as the homeownership. I belong as a community member. I also have something to contribute. … Habitat for Humanity has given me the chance to feel that I have hope for the future. For the first time in my life, I have the time to stop worrying about survival long enough to plan for the future.”—SueAnn Belknap, Habitat homeowner in Corvallis, Ore., December 1995/January 1996 issue
