A Word From the Board of Directors
Our inspiration comes from our people: Habitat homeowners, volunteers, donors, community partners, and dedicated staff. This incredible support has empowered us to grow into a larger, more impactful organization with one unwavering goal—to provide safe, decent, and affordable housing solutions that extend beyond home construction.
We are energized by the talented and passionate individuals within our Habitat family who inspire us daily. The story of Henderson Habitat is a powerful mosaic of experiences, each motivating our actions and accomplishments. This past year has been a transformative one for our organization, as we dared to explore new solutions and take bold steps forward.

Word from Chester.....
1. The vast majority of house recipients since I have been associated with Habitat have remarked to me during construction that they never thought they would own a home of their own. Also, this seems to be the first time that most, if not all, of the children involved have had a room of their own. I took both of these concepts for granted in the past.2. A picture taken of on of our lots before construction starts and contrasts it with one taken at dedication shows a drastic contrast in the aesthetics alone. This is in addition to the value added to the neighborhood, tax value, etc.
