About Us

Founded in 1985, Habitat for Humanity of Catawba Valley is a non-profit, Christian-based community organization dedicated to building simple, decent, and affordable housing for hard-working, low-income families in our community.  Habitat's office and Home Store are located at 772 4th St. SW in Hickory.

Habitat for Humanity of Catawba Valley builds approximately 10 houses a year with the help of many volunteers and donors.  We build houses through partnerships with diverse segments of the community--churches and temples, businesses and individuals, service clubs and foundations.  Thanks to this support from the community, Habitat has built over 120 houses in Catawba County.

Habitat families work hard to be homeowners.  Houses are sold to selected qualified families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans.  The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build still more Habitat houses.

We are a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International and are governed by a local Board of Directors. We build homes solely in Catawba County.  To find other Habitat affiliates, click here.
