Mission
West Volusia Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a non-profit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to the elimination of poverty housing throughout the world. Primarily through volunteer labor and donations, we build simple, decent houses, and sell them at cost and without interest to qualified families in West Volusia County. House payments are used to help build additional homes.
