About Our Homes
Simple, Decent and Affordable
Habitat for Humanity homes are built according to these guiding principles:
-
Simple.
Habitat homes are modestly-sized. They are large enough for the homeowner family’s needs, but small enough to keep construction and maintenance costs to a minimum.
-
Decent.
Habitat for Humanity uses quality, locally-available building materials. Habitat house designs reflect the local climate and culture.
- Affordable.
The labor of volunteers and partner families, energy efficient building methods, modest house sizes and no-profit loans make it affordable for low-income families to purchase Habitat homes.

In 2013 for the first time in its history, Greater Muncie Habitat for Humanity began rehabbing more homes than constructing new homes. See below for a few examples of dramatic transformations we and our volunteers have been a part of.
