Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads serves the community by eliminating substandard housing and providing an opportunity of homeownership for qualified low-income families. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds houses with the homebuyer’s help. Habitat houses are then sold to selected families at no profit and financed with affordable, no–interest loans. Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads serves Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, and Isle of Wight County.

If you are interested in making a financial donation or a donation of services, please contact Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads, Inc., 640-0590 or shrhabitat@verizon.net.
