Thank you for your interest in supporting Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity! As of March 2024, we have built 192 houses in Rutherford County with 20 new Future Homeowners in the 2023 program who have been busy getting their Financial Literacy and Homeowner Education! They will become Homeowners in 2023-24.
We have built 28 new homes at our Legacy Pointe subdivision in Murfreesboro and are continuing with Phase Two of the subdivision. The Spring 2024 Build will have 4-5 new house constructions and those families are completing their Financial Literacy and Homeowner Education Program and 250-350 hours of partner equity! The Legacy Pointe subdivision will eventually provide affordable mortgages and homes for 77 families!
We have several ways to donate to our mission of building safe, affordable and quality houses for families in need!
Buy a Bucket of Nails = $20 / Buy a Bundle of R-19 Insulation = $45 / Buy an interior door = $90 / Buy a double-hung window = $138 / Buy a front door = $250. Or buy other materials for a house! The cost of building a 3-bedroom Habitat house is now $160,000.
Other ways to donate to RCHFH: WAYS TO DONATE — SPONSOR A HOUSE — IN-KIND DONORS
OR Sponsor one of our great events: Hammer Down for Habitat (Sept. 21, 2024), Cookin’ To Build (Nov. 2, 2024), ReStore Donation Days (ongoing), Giving Tuesday (Dec. 3, 2024) or a number of special events.
Jonathan and Drew Scott, HGTV’s The “Property Brothers”, share why they love Habitat and how Habitat can build affordable housing – utilizing volunteers on the build (we typically have over 300 volunteers on each house!) and making great purchasing decisions.
Our Habitat houses are well-built, attractive, energy efficient and Energy Star! Habitat families report that their utility bills are usually 1/3rd of what they paid in their rental housing! Habitat home mortgage payments are typically $900, whereas they used to pay $1500-$2000 a month for their rental housing! So Habitat families save in many ways by BUYING their home instead of renting!!
