Rebuilding Together NYC

Serving all five New York City boroughs, Rebuilding Together NYC is a nonprofit

housing organization that rehabilitates homes and revitalizes communities to make them

safe and healthy. With the assistance of volunteers, they provide free critical home

repairs for low-income homeowners, primarily those who are elderly, disabled, and

veterans. Rebuilding Together NYC is one of our closest partner organizations and we

regularly send volunteers to build with them and aid in their home rehabilitation efforts.

Friends of Rockaway

Friends of Rockaway is a community-based nonprofit organization founded in response

to the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy on the Rockaway Peninsula. They are

dedicated to rebuilding homes for Sandy-impacted families, who were displaced from the

storm and cannot afford to rebuild on their own. Columbia Habitat for Humanity has

been working with Friends of Rockaway for over a year. We partner with them by

sending volunteers to help with their ongoing Sandy relief efforts. For more information

Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a

better life for themselves and for their families. Through our 2020 Strategic Plan, Habitat

Habitat NYC

screen-shot-2017-01-23-at-11-25-35-pm

Founded in 1984 as an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International,

Habitat NYC builds in the five boroughs of New York City, building homes for ownership

by families and individuals in need.

We build the homes with the “sweat equity” of our family partner homeowners who work

side-by-side with volunteers. Professional contractors build the exterior shells to code,

and the volunteers do the interior construction. Each year thousands of New Yorkers

from faith institutions, corporations, schools and civic groups come to build with us and learn

more about how to help solve New York’s affordable housing crisis.

In addition to building homes, Habitat NYC is a leading advocate for affordable housing.

Our goal is to ensure that every New Yorker has a decent, affordable home, by creating a social

movement to end the housing crisis plaguing New York City and by calling on elected officials to

make affordable housing a priority.

With the help of thousands of volunteers every year, Habitat NYC has served more than 465 families

in the five boroughs of New York City through home construction & repairs. Habitat NYC’s first project

in New York City began with President and Mrs. Jimmy Carter’s visit and build in the Lower East Side.
