Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville builds new, quality, affordable homes for hardworking men and women in a four county area: Davidson, Wilson, Cheatham, and Dickson counties.
Habitat Homeowners
Future Habitat for Humanity homeowners qualify for Habitat’s homeownership program, meet income qualifications, attend education classes and work with their sponsor(s) and volunteers to build their homes. Habitat homes are not free. Habitat homeowners pay an affordable mortgage made possible because of our funding partners.
Funding
Habitat relies on government, corporate, faith and individual partnerships to strengthen lives through the opportunity to purchase affordable homes. Homeownership builds thriving communities and makes it possible for people to live in the communities where they work. Since 1985, Habitat of Greater Nashville has built or recycled more than 1,313 homes, nearly 1,000 locally, and served more than 3,268 family members including 2,060 children.
Construction
Habitat of Greater Nashville has received numerous awards for neighborhood revitalization, green building practices, and sustainability, earning the 14th consecutive Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR® Award for Sustained Excellence in Affordable Housing.
Social Enterprise | ReStore
Habitat for Humanity helps fund its mission through its social enterprise, the ReStore. The ReStore sells new and gently used office and household items at a fraction of the cost. Habitat of Greater Nashville operates ReStores in Davidson and Dickson counties, with the Wilson ReStore re-opening soon.
