Where We Build

Trinity Habitat for Humanity builds in the following counties:

Johnson County – Our Johnson County chapter has constructed 31 homes in several Johnson County cities.

Parker County – The steering committee, formed in early 2006, is excited about building homes locally as many of its members had been active with the Fort Worth affiliate. Since 2007 we have built two homes in Parker County.

Tarrant County – Since the board of directors formed in 1989, our affiliate has been actively making a difference. The majority of the homes we build are in Fort Worth.

Wise County - A group of Wise County residents became interested in starting Habitat in Wise County several years ago. In their effort to get going they decided to join the Trinity Habitat family. Since 2007 we have built two homes in Wise County.

Overview

Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller and his wife Linda, Habitat for Humanity has built in excess of 225,000 quality affordable homes around the world.

All Habitat for Humanity affiliates build on the belief that everyone deserves a decent place to live at a price they can afford. Habitat for Humanity volunteers, working hand in hand with the families they serve, build quality, affordable homes using donations of money and materials.

Partner families, as our homebuyers are known, invest hundreds of hours of sweat equity in the construction of their homes, then buy their houses, making monthly payments on an interest-free mortgage. Their house payments revolve back into Habitat’s work. Thus a dollar invested in Habitat is a buck that never stops-it just keeps building.

With affiliates in every U.S. state and in 100 countries around the world, Habitat has attracted millions of volunteers, from U.S. presidents to such celebrities as Cher, Reba McIntire, and Oprah to name a few.

Fort Worth Area Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1989 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Fort Worth Area Habitat has since grown from a handful of dedicated founders into a volunteer corps of thousands and today ranks among the top 20 U.S. Habitat affiliates in home production. In 2006 the name was changed to Trinity Habitat for Humanity in order to be more inclusive of the four counties we serve.
