At Work in Our Community

Habitat Iredell is building a better world for local families and offering many opportunities to get involved.

There are several projects associated with Habitat Iredell that allow us to reach more people in our community. Through all of our programs we reach families who need our assistance and volunteers who want to make a difference.

Simple. Habitat houses are modestly-sized. They are large enough for the homeowner family's needs, but small enough to keep construction and maintenance costs to a minimum.



Decent. Habitat for Humanity uses quality, locally-available building materials. habitat house designs reflect the local climate and culture.



Affordable. The labor of volunteers and partner families, efficient building methods, modest house sizes and no-profit loans make it affordable for families to purchase Habitat houses.

Habitat for Humanity of Iredell County homes are generally 900 to 1200 square feet homes consisting of two to three bedrooms, and two to three bathrooms (depending upon family size). Habitat's guidelines dictate that a 3-bedroom Habitat house my have no more than 1,050 square feet of living space. The home is typically built using wood frame construction, gypsum board interior walls, vinyl siding and asphalt shingle roofs.

Habitat for Humanity's commitment to build with people in need readily extends to those with disabilities. Houses built in partnership with families with disabilities include additional accessibility features.
