Habitat for Humanity
Auburn Opelika Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, nondenominational Christian housing organization. By building with volunteer labor and offering zero-interest mortgages, we partner with low-income families to help them build equity towards stable futures. We welcome all people to join us as we build simple, decent, affordable houses in partnership with those in need of adequate shelter.
Habitat for Humanity does not build houses for families; rather, it builds alongside those who demonstrate need and willingness to partner with Habitat. Homeowner families invest hundreds of hours of their own “sweat equity” labor into the houses. Their monthly mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity to help fund the construction of more houses.

Residence #78
We are helping to build a stronger community by improving the lives of local families. On average, our organization spends $100,000 to build a home in partnership with sponsors, volunteers, and low-income families. While the overall cost of the project is $100,000, the donations that we hope to receive from Opelika Giving Day will specifically go towards purchasing lumber to frame Habitat Home #78 located in Opelika. These donations will greatly impact the lives of our partner families as they will be able to achieve the strength, stability, hope, and self-reliance they need to build a better life for themselves.
