Building Wise

Sustainability means being responsible stewards of our environment, our cities and our world. For us, it means we recycle surplus building materials, build to green standards and construct durable homes that are affordable to buy and affordable to live in.

Habitat for Humanity of Seattle/South King County is about much more than building houses. It’s about building affordable housing, neighborhoods, responsibility and pride.

Neighborhood revitalization is our primary goal, one that unifies everything we do. We believe that creating a healthy, vital neighborhood with affordable housing, and sustainable housing, can only happen when volunteers and neighbors come together to build a community.

Habitat for Humanity Seattle/South King County builds new communities here in Western Washington and around the world through our commitment to global engagement. Our Seattle affiliate has worked in places like Thailand, Nicaragua and Mexico, because affordable housing is needed wherever people need to live and work.

Habitat for Humanity is more than an organization that builds houses. We are a movement that brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.

To learn more about Habitat for Humanity, join us on Saturday, August 11 for our summer fundraising event – Hardhats and Sandals – at the Weyerhaeuser Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection.
