ABOUT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Putting God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, community, and hope. At Tri-County Partners Habitat for Humanity (TCPHFH) our vision is that all residents of Benton, Franklin, and Walla Walla counties will have the opportunity for a decent, safe, and affordable place to live and thrive. These homes are places where parents are able to raise their families in dignity and stability, thereby providing children with an environment to excel academically. This is a hand up, not a hand-out! TCPHFH helps individuals and families achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Homeownership opens opportunities that in turn build cycles of generational wealth for our hardest working families. Since 1994, TCPHFH has partnered with families and individuals to build over 160 attainable single-family homes, impacting 590+ children and 295 adults across multiple generations.
