Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston was founded in 1987. Since then 75 homes have been built or renovated in the Greater Boston area. We are grateful for the support of our sponsors, donors and volunteers who have made homeownership a possibility for so many deserving families.

Homes Planned

Needham Site: Construction of a three-bedroom home is planned for 2007-2008 and will require the dedication of 5,000 volunteer hours as well as other generous donations in order to complete the home.

Homes Under Construction

Newton: We broke ground for a 2-unit building at 76 Webster Park on September 19, 2007. If you would like to contribute financially toward the Newton project please send donations to Habitat Greater Boston - Newton, P.O. Box 610242, Newton, MA 02461. This is the first Habitat project in the City of Newton.

Blue Hill Place, Dorchester: The construction of Habitat Greater Boston’s largest project to date is well underway. When completed, the site on Blue Hill Avenue between Intervale and Creston Streets in Dorchester will have twenty-four new homes and 2,000 square feet of commercial space. We have completed three buildings containing eleven units, and are in the process of building 10 more.
