At Cumberland County Habitat for Humanity, we build. We build because we believe that everyone, everywhere, should have a healthy, affordable place to call home. More than building homes, we build communities, we build hope and we build the opportunity for families to help themselves.
OUR VISION
Cumberland County Habitat for Humanity is a source of hope and inspiration for Cumberland County, the State of New Jersey, and the entire nation. We are a leader in enabling more citizens to have greater opportunities to improve their lives through home ownership.
Our impact is seen in revitalized neighborhoods, families achieving financial stability, and children who achieve more in school and in life. Families living in Habitat homes are positive contributors to our community.
We are leaders in the affordable housing business and take the lead in pulling people together – developing partnerships and collaborating with a variety of organizations – to reduce poverty levels and increase the numbers of families who own homes.

WHY AFFORDABLE HOUSING MATTERS
Every day in Cumberland County, low-income, hardworking families struggle to find affordable places to live. Rapidly rising rents force these families to live in unsafe, unhealthy, and crowded conditions. This has a negative affect on learning and self esteem of the children.
The American dream of home ownership is seen as simply unattainable, due to the increasing costs of home prices and little change in incomes of hardworking families.
Our mission of working with the community to build and renovate simple decent homes with and for these families has resulted in over 25 families purchasing their home. This leads to stability in their family and the ability to build equity. We believe in this mission, because we have seen first-hand how affordable home ownership impacts families, children, and communities.
Families have a chance to experience stability, build equity wealth, and have something tangible to pass on to their children. Children are healthier and safer. They do better in school, have higher self esteem, and feel more hopeful toward their future. Communities are improved, as homeowners tend to be more active in their communities than renters, and pay into the local tax base.

A HOUSING CRISIS
Worldwide, some 827.6 million people live in urban slums. By 2020, it is estimated the world slum population will reach almost 1 billion. About 50 percent of the world’s population now live in urban areas. Lack of clean water and sanitation claim the lives of more than 1.8 million young children every year.
