Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C. & Northern Virginia (Habitat DC-NOVA) believes that everyone deserves a safe, decent place to live. We work to break down barriers to homeownership and help families create stability and intergenerational wealth through permanent housing.

Additionally the ReStores are our stores that help build homes; the ReStore is a discount home improvement store and donation center with locations in Alexandria, Chantilly, and Herndon. Habitat DC-NOVA ReStore’s are open to the public Monday-Saturday and a resource for low-cost building supplies, furniture, and home furnishings. When you visit a ReStore, you are diverting items from landfills and supporting our work to help local families build a stronger foundation for their future through affordable homeownership opportunities.

Our programs work together to build equity and resilience for local families with low incomes. While we are best known for building and selling affordable homes, we do so much more to address the diverse housing needs across our region. In addition to creating affordable homeownership opportunities, we provide no-cost home repairs, aging in place support, and homeowner education. You can learn more about each of our programs on our website.
