About
Since 1999, Habitat for Humanity Springfield has brought people together to build homes, strengthen our community, and create opportunity that lasts.
Our Guiding Principles
Our Mission
Together with our communities, Habitat for Humanity Springfield puts faith and love into action by building homes and hope.
Our Vision
A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Building in Springfield. Part of a Global Movement.
Habitat for Humanity Springfield was founded in 1999 as an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Our work focuses on building a safer, stronger community by partnering with local families, volunteers, companies, and community partners.
As part of a global network of Habitat affiliates, we bring the resources and credibility of an international movement to the neighborhoods and families right here in Springfield.
We build and repair homes. We provide financial counseling. We advocate for housing policy that works for everyone. And we do it all in partnership with our volunteers and homebuyers.

The People Behind the Mission
Habitat Springfield is led by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who believe deeply that everyone deserves a decent place to call home.
Our work is overseen by a volunteer board of directors drawn from Springfield business leaders, community advocates, and housing professionals united by a shared commitment to our mission.
“Habitat for Humanity didn’t just give us a house; they gave us a foundation for a completely different future where my children can thrive and grow in safety.”
– Darlene M.
We Take Stewardship Seriously
Transparency isn’t a policy for us. It’s a value.
We believe the community that invests in this mission deserves to know exactly how their support is being used. That’s why we publish our financials every year, maintain independent audits, and pursue third-party accreditation from organizations like Candid and Charity Navigator.
