Value proposition

Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland is a non-profit organization that builds communities of new energy efficient homes, with affordable financing. We are an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a global, nonprofit housing organization.

Founded in 1985, we are committed to the development and uplifting of families and communities, not only to the construction of houses. We have built over 90 homes in Cumberland county Maine since our founding, and we have donated over $500,000 to help build homes for more than 170 families around the world.

Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.

What is the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland ReStore?
Opened in 2006, the ReStore is a discount retail outlet that sells donated new and gently used building materials, appliances and furniture at greatly reduced prices. The ReStore is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 9:00-5:00. All of the profits from the ReStore are used to support Habitat for Humanity home building projects in the Greater Portland area.
