Right now, more than 16,000 North Texas households are searching for a home they can actually afford. Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity exists to close that gap — one household, one home, at a time.
We walk alongside future homeowners through every step of the journey: new home construction, homebuyer education and financial counseling, and access to zero-interest, zero-down mortgages. It's a partnership built to help people not just become homeowners, but build lasting stability for themselves and their families.
Take Trenesha.
After moving to Dallas following the loss of both her parents, she built a life around lifting others up — working with adults with developmental disabilities by day, all while working toward a home of her own. Through Dallas Habitat, she found it.

"Habitat isn't just about building homes," Trenesha told us. "It's about building people up." |
Trenesha’s story is shared by so many homeowners who, through partnering with Dallas Habitat, have been able to put down roots, provide for the people they love, and build the life they've worked hard for.
When you give, you're not just donating — you help put homeownership within reach for individuals and families across Dallas and Kaufman counties.
Trenesha found her home — help hundreds more North Texans do the same.In North Texas, a shortage of homes, stagnant incomes, and land-use policies that make it harder to build affordable housing have combined to put a safe, stable home out of reach for far too many families. Even a small increase makes a difference: In Texas, a $1,000 increase in home prices alone would price out more than 14,000 more households, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
Today, more than 16,000 North Texas households are searching for a home they can actually afford.
Why It Matters
A home is more than four walls. When individuals and families can't find one they can afford, the effects extend beyond any one household — impacting schools, local businesses, and community stability.
Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity is working to close that gap. Today, we have built and restored 2,210 homes in 25 neighborhoods across Dallas and Kaufman counties — helping more people attain homeownership and chart a path to a brighter future. This year, we plan to construct 20 new homes and break ground on 12 new townhomes.
Your gift today can help put homeownership within reach for more local families.
