Grants Pass Area Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Future homebuyers pay an affordable mortgage, gain hands-on construction experience through sweat equity, and complete education courses throughout the process to become successful homeowners. Grants Pass Area Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1992 when community members came together to build affordable housing with eligible families in Josephine County. In April 1993, Grants Pass Area Habitat for Humanity became an official affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International and received our 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation designation in July 1993. Over the past 30 years, we've built 23 affordable homes in partnership with families and community members.
