Welcome to Hancock County Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity was founded based on the conviction that every man, woman & child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity & safety. Worldwide, Habitat affiliates improve people’s housing conditions through new home construction, rehabilitation, repairs or increased access to improved shelter through partnerships with the private sector.
Partnering with economically disadvantaged individuals & families, Hancock County Habitat seeks to eliminate poverty housing and to make decent, affordable shelter a matter of conscience & action. Through monetary & in-kind donations, volunteer labor, and each partner’s “sweat equity", we are able to complete projects which are then financed under 0-interest (0% APR) or zero-equivalent mortgage(s) and/or through third-party credit. E.H.O.

Honoring President Jimmy Carter
We are deeply saddened by the news of President Carter's passing. He was a genuine friend to Habitat for Humanity and an enduring symbol of selflessly helping others and communities to flourish. Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, became enthusiastic advocates for Habitat for Humanity after their initial volunteer work in 1984, strongly aligning with the organization's focus on constructing homes, communities, and hope.
Over the years, the Carters’ involvement has become symbolic of Habitat’s ethos of service, with the couple dedicating weeks of their time each year to working alongside volunteers and future homeowners. Their commitment helped draw global attention to the organization's mission, turning Habitat for Humanity into a worldwide movement. To date, the organization has helped build or repair over 1 million homes in more than 70 countries, including 20 homes built and countless repaired in Hancock County, lifting millions out of poverty by giving them the chance to build a better life through affordable housing.
President Carter’s work with Habitat was an expression of his lifelong belief in social justice and his desire to make a tangible difference. His legacy is deeply intertwined with Habitat for Humanity, where the values of compassion, community, and dignity continue to inspire volunteers and families worldwide.

Habitat for Humanity’s Aging in Place Housing Plus Program:
Comprehensive Support for Older Adults

As the population ages, the need for affordable, accessible, and supportive housing for older adults has never been greater. Many older adults wish to remain in their homes as they grow age, but a lack of accessible housing options and necessary services can make this difficult.
Habitat for Humanity’s Aging in Place Housing Plus Program is an innovative approach that not only focuses on modifying homes to make them safer and more accessible, but also integrates critical social services to support overall well-being. This holistic approach allows older adults to age in place with dignity, independence, and community support.
As the aging population continues to grow, H4H is working with partners to help create programs like Aging in Place Housing Plus will be critical in ensuring that older adults can live with dignity and independence. By combining home modifications with comprehensive health and social services, Habitat for Humanity is helping create a model of care that is sustainable, affordable, and community-oriented.

What is the Aging in Place Housing Plus Program?
The Aging in Place Housing Plus Program goes beyond simple home modifications to offer a comprehensive solution that ensures seniors can live independently and safely in their own homes for as long as possible. It combines home adaptations with a broad range delivered by partner agencies of supportive services that address the physical, emotional, and social needs of seniors. The goal of the program is to create a holistic living environment where seniors can age with dignity, reduce the need for institutional care, and maintain a high quality of life in their communities.
While Habitat for Humanity has long been committed to providing safe, affordable housing, the Aging in Place Housing Plus Program takes it a step further by recognizing that home safety is only one piece of the puzzle. Aging in place requires a strong, integrated support system.
