Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta (Habitat NWMA) is committed to building stronger communities by offering a range of impactful programs that help families gain access to safe, affordable housing and improve the neighborhoods they live in. These programs focus on new home construction, critical home repairs, homeownership support, and community revitalization efforts, ensuring that families have the foundation they need to thrive.
Together, these programs offers individual and families the chance to build a future full of possibilities.
New Home Construction
Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta builds new homes for families in need across Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding counties. These homes are built with the help of volunteers, donors, and future homeowners who contribute “sweat equity” by working alongside construction teams. Once completed, these homes are sold to qualifying families at an affordable, zero-interest mortgage. This new home construction program provides families with the opportunity to live in safe, stable, and energy-efficient homes, transforming their lives and enabling them to create a brighter future for themselves and their family.
Critical Home Repairs
This program provides vital repairs to low-income veterans, seniors, and other homeowners who need to make their homes safer and more accessible. These critical repairs may include fixing roofs, replacing plumbing, removing mold, installing ramps, and making homes free of environmental hazards. By addressing these issues, Habitat NWMA helps to reduce the risk of injury, improve health outcomes, and provide residents with peace of mind. These repairs also enhance the quality of life for homeowners, allowing them to remain in their homes longer and age in place safely.
Homeownership Support
Through Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro’s Homeownership program, families can achieve the dream of homeownership by purchasing a home at an affordable price. This program offers families an opportunity to build wealth through homeownership by providing affordable mortgages with no interest. In addition to offering financial assistance, Habitat NWMA provides homeowners with the knowledge and tools they need to successfully maintain their homes and finances. This support helps families become self-sufficient and secure a stable future for themselves and their family.
Community Revitalization
Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro’s Community Revitalization program is aimed at improving entire neighborhoods, not just individual homes. This effort focuses on revitalizing communities by enhancing the physical and social infrastructure, promoting neighborhood pride, and creating spaces where people can connect and thrive. Through projects such as landscaping, painting, public space improvements, and collaborations with local organizations, Habitat NWMA helps to strengthen the fabric of communities and ensures that everyone has access to clean, safe, and welcoming spaces.
