Habitat for Humanity of West Bay and Northern RI

About This Business

Habitat for Humanity of West Bay and Northern RI is a non-profit organization dedicated to building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. The organization's mission is to provide affordable housing to individuals and families in need, promoting a sense of community and social responsibility. With a strong focus on home ownership, Habitat for Humanity of West Bay and Northern RI offers a range of programs and services designed to support low-income families in achieving their dream of owning a home. The organization's home ownership program is built around the concept of 'sweat equity,' where families contribute their time and labor to help build their own homes. This approach not only helps to reduce construction costs but also fosters a sense of pride and ownership among the families involved. In addition to its home ownership program, Habitat for Humanity of West Bay and Northern RI also offers critical home repairs and tax programs for veterans, as well as a range of volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups. The organization relies on the support of donors, sponsors, and volunteers to continue its work, and offers a variety of ways for people to get involved, including team builds, community service requests, and fundraising events. One of the organization's notable initiatives is the 2025 Habitat 'FORE' Humanity Golf Classic, which aims to raise funds and awareness for the organization's mission. Through its work, Habitat for Humanity of West Bay and Northern RI is making a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families in the West Bay and Northern Rhode Island area, and is helping to build stronger, more resilient communities. The organization's commitment to providing affordable housing and promoting social responsibility is inspiring, and its impact is evident in the stories of the families it has helped, such as the Baptista family, who became members of the Habitat for Humanity community in 2018, and the Jimenez family, who bought a new home in West Warwick with the organization's support. As a non-profit organization, Habitat for Humanity of West Bay and Northern RI is dependent on the generosity of its supporters, and invites individuals and organizations to get involved and make a difference in the lives of those in need.
