Who We Are

Greene County Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1996 by John Ludwig as a chartered affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Habitat volunteers build new homes in partnership with future homeowners, with support and resources from the local community, creating safe, decent, and affordable housing for Greene County families.

With continued support from the community, through both monetary donations and volunteer services, Habitat has constructed and sold sixty-six homes. Greene County Habitat for Humanity is the largest non-profit residential builder in the Lake Country.

How We’ve Served Greene County

Testimonials

“Some people inherit money, some people inherit poverty. It's hard to think outside of the scope of poverty. What Habitat offers — a hand up is a different kind of inheritance: hope.”

“Habitat builds strength, stability, and self-reliance. Seeing the growth in our families through their home preparation classes and over the years as they grow as homeowners, I have seen first hand that this program works. What Habitat does is much more than just sheltering people. It’s what it does for people on the inside. By their own initiative, through their own pride and hope, they change.”
Elaine Mathews
Executive Director
“After working side by side with future Habitat homeowners — I’ve learned that I’m the one who is on the receiving end of things more than anyone else.”
