People in our community and all over the world partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes, alongside volunteers, and pay an affordable monthly mortgage. Founded in 1983 as first Habitat affiliate in North Carolina, Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity (AAHH) has helped more than 1,600 adults and children achieve strength, stability and self-reliance on the foundation on stable housing. We believe that everyone deserves a decent place to live, and everyone can do something today to make that possible for another family.
