About Us


Habitat for Humanity of Horry County builds simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with those in need.  The homes are then sold to those partners at no profit and with a no-interest mortgage.  Habitat does NOT give houses away.  Volunteers provide most of the labor and individual, church, and corporate donors provide funding and materials to build Habitat houses.  Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of sweat equity - building their own homes and homes of others.  Their mortgage payments go into a revolving fund for Habitat and is used to build more houses in our community.
