Ulster County Habitat for Humanity has been building hope since 1996—helping families and individuals create safe, affordable homes that strengthen our entire community.
Everyone deserves a place to call home. With your support, Ulster Habitat doesn’t just build houses—we build futures that lift up generations.
Twenty-nine years to build 25 homes. Eighteen months to build 13 more.
25 homes. 25 families. That’s what we accomplished together in 2025. Our partner families aren’t just homeowners—they’re invested neighbors who strengthen Ulster County’s tax base and build lasting community stability. In the next 2 years, we’re building 13 more.
Our ReStore has been a community game-changer since 2013, generating hundreds of thousands annually for housing while giving furniture and materials new life. Good for families, good for budgets, good for the planet. Great for Ulster County.
