About Habitat For Humanity Texas Inc
A home can start with more than a construction site. Based in Buda, Habitat For Humanity Texas Inc helps local Habitat affiliates across Texas serve families seeking safe, affordable homeownership through training, mortgage services, disaster coordination, resource development, and advocacy. Your support strengthens the organizations doing this work in their communities, from preparing for disasters to helping homeowners understand mortgages and maintenance.
Habitat For Humanity Texas Inc is a statewide affiliate-support organization, not a direct home builder. Its work reaches local Habitat organizations through technical assistance, mortgage servicing, disaster response, leadership development, and housing advocacy, helping them build, repair, and rehabilitate homes for families across Texas.

Need help?
How someone in need can access Habitat For Humanity Texas Inc’s services.
People seeking housing assistance should contact their local Habitat for Humanity affiliate or 211 Texas. Local affiliates determine partner-family selection and application processes. Eligibility information states that most eligible applicants are within 30% to 80% of area median income, and partner families contribute sweat equity, make a down payment, and purchase homes through an affordable no-profit mortgage. Habitat Texas does not build homes directly or determine local applicant selection.
