In January 1991, a group of Anchorage residents who believed in helping people help themselves began organizing to establish Habitat for Humanity Anchorage. HFHA officially affiliated with Habitat for Humanity International in June 1992 and works with people who live in substandard conditions, volunteers and donors throughout Anchorage.
To date Habitat for Humanity has built 64 new homes and rehabbed three homes in Spenard, East Anchorage, Fairview and Mountain View. HFHA has housed 347 people, including 224 children since it began in 1993.
HFHA hopes to be able to implement a year around building program soon and build an average of 8-12 homes a year. Learn more at http://www.hfhanchorage.org.
Construction is typically on new homes. Tools and safety equipment are available and each site is equipped with portable bathroom facilities.
