Everyone deserves a decent place to live.
Everyone can do something today to help make that possible for another family.
Habitat for Humanity – Anchorage (HFHA) is dedicated to the mission of providing simple, safe, decent, and affordable homeownership opportunities to our partner families.
We work with people from all backgrounds, creeds and walks of life to build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.
The HFHA program partners with volunteers, donors and home-buyers to carry out our mission. We do this by building homes alongside our partners, and selling the homes at or under appraised value with a nonprofit mortgage.
NOTE: Our homeowner application will be opening soon.
Stay tuned and sign up for our interest form.

Varied
Habitat for Humanity homes range from single-family houses to townhomes, with a wide range of building types to suit every family size and style.
3 things you need to know before applying for our Homeowner Program

Habitat homes are NOT free
Habitat for Humanity homes are not given away. Our partner families (or individuals) do pay the mortgage on the house.
02
Homeowners contribute time and energy
03
Homeownership takes time
This is not a quick process. From selection to move-in can take up to 2.5 years for a newly-built home.

One homeowner’s voice
“ I came to Anchorage as a refugee from Sudan.
I am a single father raising twins. I like living in Anchorage and appreciate all that this city has done to welcome me here. My goal was to own a 3-bedroom home in a quiet neighborhood.
Owning a Habitat home was the opportunity of a lifetime. My children and I are able to have our own separate rooms.
I cannot tell you how much this has made our lives better! “
