Our Story

Upper Valley Habitat for Humanity has been helping families in the Upper Valley area of Vermont and New Hampshire since 1986, and in that time, has built thirty seven houses for families and individuals. For two years after Tropical Storm Irene severely damaged so much of our area, we accomplished countless repairs for people who needed our help.

Our mission is to build affordable, durable, safe, healthy, economical, and energy-efficient homes; strengthen and enrich communities; and increase long-term hope, prosperity, health, and the lives of families and individuals in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire through the stability of affordable homeownership.

Our vision is a world in which everyone has a decent place to live.

We create sustainable communities by promoting high-quality building and housing standards; leading and acting with compassion; supporting hands-on learning; and building and channeling the power of volunteers, supporters, and partner families to bring about positive change in the Upper Valley.
