Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County believes that everyone deserves to have a safe and affordable place to live and raise a family. To that end, we build more than homes, we build communities and provide educational programs and support to ensure homeownership sustainablity.
This St. Charles County affiliate formed in 1997, and we are proud to say that mid-April 2024 we dedicated our 99th home to a deserving family. The success we’re having would not be possible without the charitable donations of goods and services from corporations, local businesses, churches, and individuals. In addition, we are so appreciative of the countless volunteers and homeowners who participate in building homes, year after year.
Habitat St. Charles is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals by impacting the community we serve. And we invite “you” to join in this gratifying initiative. Visit our website frequently to see where we’re working next.

Every day, more and more families find themselves in a struggle to keep a decent roof over their heads. Caught in punishing cycles of unpredictable rent increases, overcrowded conditions, or lack of access to land and affordable financing, these families live with a constant burden of uncertainty, stress and fear.
Habitat for Humanity knows that safe, decent and affordable shelter plays an absolutely critical role in helping families to create a new cycle, one filled with possibilities and progress. Affordable homeownership frees families and fosters the skills and confidence they need to invest in themselves and their communities. The outcomes can be long-lasting and life-changing.
Values
Habitat St. Charles believes that people should have safe, healthy, affordable places to live, play and grow. And we believe there’s power in numbers – and that by mobilizing our own neighbors, we can change people’s living situations for the better.
