Our Mission
To date Huntington Area Habitat for Humanity has provided 70 homes for residents of Cabell County who were in dire need of better housing. The average cost of a three bedroom Habitat house is about $45,600. Our partner families are required to log a pre-determined amount of sweat equity hours into the construction of Habitat projects, including work on their own Habitat house. These houses are then sold to the partner families at no profit, and are financed through affordable, interest-free mortgage loans from the affiliate.
Students from the CCCTC will be building the house from start to finish. Both high school and adult students from all of the center's programs will receive classroom training, then apply those skills in construction of the project. Interior design students will work with the partner family to select colors and coordinate materials inside the house, HVAC students will work on heating cooling systems, and the building construction classes will help put the structure together.
(Because of the unique nature of this project, this site will be limited to students from the CCCTC)

Pastor McCalla, the former minister at Highlawn Presbyterian Church, had a hope of one day building a home for Habitat for Humanity. Even though that day never came for him, the vision he had is becoming a reality.
Volunteers from several local churches (Highlawn Presbyterian, First Presbyterian, Enslow Park Presbyterian and Highlawn Baptist) will be coming together to work on the home.
Anyone interested in volunteering is welcome to participate at this build site. If you are interested, please click the Volunteer Now button to sign-up.
