About Cobb Habitat

Our Mission: Cobb County Habitat for Humanity works to build a stronger community by creating affordable housing in partnership with volunteers and responsible families in need.
 
Cobb Habitat is committed to its goal of building simple, decent, affordable housing by working in partnership with God’s people in need.  Using volunteer labor and donated funds and materials, Cobb Habitat builds or rehabilitates houses and sells them to responsible families in need at no profit with no interest charged. (Exodus 22:25).

We believe that every person deserves a simple and decent place in which to live and grow into all that God intends for them to be.

Families qualify for homeownership based on three criteria:  need for housing, a willingness to partner with Cobb Habitat and an ability to repay a no-interest mortgage. We work with people of all faiths and people of no faith. We have built and renovated over 260 houses in Cobb County since 1986.

Cobb County Habitat for Humanity, Inc. was formally affiliated with Habitat for Humanity International on April 1, 1986. Of the 1,700 affiliates in the country, Cobb Habitat is recognized as one of the top 35 affiliates in the nation. Cobb Habitat is often acknowledged by Habitat for Humanity International as an innovative force within the Habitat for Humanity community.

Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families.  Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments are recycled into a revolving fund that is used to help build more houses.
