about us

Every one deserves a decent place to live.
 

Northwoods Habitat for Humanity was established in 1990.
We are an ecumenical, Christian ministry determined to end poverty housing in our community. Since 1990, 64 homes have been sold to families who needed nothing  more than a hand-up to break the bonds of poverty.
