Volunteers are asked to meet at the Fitch Avenue build site for the 8:00 am service on Saturday, September 11 and then will be directed to the different homes under construction immediately after the service concludes. 

Especially on 9/11, Habitat's "Theology of the Hammer" puts into action the belief that people of all faiths and no faith, from all backgrounds and circumstances, can use a hammer and a nail to build a stronger community, perhaps even a more harmonious world, while building simple decent shelter for every man, woman and child on earth.  Won't you join us?

One of our greatest challenges is finding homes to rehab or property to build a home for the many eligible families that apply to become homeowners. Habitat for Humanity of Southeastern CT’s goal of eliminating substandard housing works hand-in-hand with the ordinances of local municipalities. We impact the community where we build or rehab by turning a vacant, blighted property into additional tax dollars for the municipality as well as increase the local property values. The additional income can be used to improve education and recreation in a community.

Because of our non-profit status, our organization is sought out by many people who have been given property or a home through an inheritance. Often property/houses sit vacant for a long period of time before you realize that the tax donation value of the property can out weigh your cash value after considering the cost of your time and travel to maintain the property.

Donations are also accepted of property/houses that have not been properly maintained and therefore are often not sellable. However for Habitat this is not a problem since

HFHSECT goal is to make sure every man, woman and child has simple, decent shelter.  Since 1987, the organization has completed 42 houses throughout New London County. This has been achieved in partnership with our Habitat families, who contribute at least 400 hours of “sweat equity” to Habitat in order to be eligible to buy their own home which HFHSECT sells to them at cost, with a no interest mortgage. Habitat homes are built through the dedication of the many volunteers who share their time and talents for construction and related activities and through the financial contributions of the many caring individuals, faith based organizations, businesses and civic groups who are our neighbors in this community.
