Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge builds and renovates houses in partnership with the community. We provide opportunities for families in need to purchase their own homes and improve their lives. We build community by involving diverse religious, social and business groups in the construction of homes and neighborhoods.  

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge works in partnership with deserving, low-income families and the community to eliminate poverty housing. Habitat is not a handout but a “hand up.”  Homes are sold to partner families at no profit and financed by Habitat with affordable, no-interest loans.  The incomes of those selected fall within the range of 27% to 55% of median family income for the parish where they live.  Since our formation as an affiliate, HFHGBR has built and renovated almost 200 homes.
