Building More Than Homes — Building a Stronger Brazoria County
At Southern Brazoria County Habitat for Humanity, we’re more than a housing nonprofit — we’re a movement for change. We bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Since our founding, we’ve empowered local families with the opportunity to build a safe, stable, and affordable place to live. Our mission is simple, but powerful:
To put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope.
We believe that everyone — regardless of background, income, or circumstance — deserves a chance at the American dream. That’s why we work side-by-side with families in need, volunteers who care, and donors who want to make a lasting impact right here at home.
Our Vision
A world — and a community — where everyone has a decent place to live.
This vision drives everything we do. From construction sites to community events, from fundraising to faith-based service, we are committed to breaking the cycle of poverty housing in southern Brazoria County. Every home we build is a step toward stronger families and a stronger future.
How It Works
Southern Brazoria County Habitat for Humanity doesn’t give away homes. We offer a hand-up, not a handout. Families in our program:
Go through a detailed application and approval process
Contribute “sweat equity” hours by helping build their own home or those of other families
Complete financial and homeownership education
Pay back an affordable mortgage with zero profit added
We keep our homes affordable by relying on donated materials, volunteer labor, and community partnerships that reduce construction costs and strengthen our mission.
Local Focus, Global Impact
We are proud to be part of Habitat for Humanity International, a global nonprofit housing organization that works in nearly 70 countries. But our focus is local — right here in Southern Brazoria County, Texas. Every donation, every hour volunteered, every home built stays right here in our community.
Whether we’re pouring concrete in Angleton or delivering a roof truss in Lake Jackson, we’re doing it for our neighbors — because we believe everyone deserves a place to call home in the county they love.
Our Values
Faith in action: We serve as an expression of God’s love, welcoming people of all faiths and backgrounds.
Dignity through partnership: Families are not passive recipients — they are active partners.
Stewardship of resources: We maximize every donation and hour of labor to create real, lasting change.
Community above all: We build together. We grow together. We rise together.
Join Our Mission
The heart of Habitat isn’t the homes — it’s the people. Donors, volunteers, community leaders, and partner families are the engine that drives us. If you believe in giving people a solid foundation to build their future on, there’s a place for you here.
Together, we can build a better Brazoria County — one home, one family, one act of kindness at a time.
