Habitat for Humanity D.C. & Northern Virginia is a non-profit organization dedicated to building equitable access to affordable homeownership and fostering stability for low-income families. Serving Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia, the organization actively combats the cycle of poverty by providing safe, decent homes.

Their comprehensive approach includes building new affordable homes, renovating existing properties, and offering critical home repairs. Habitat DC-NOVA engages a wide network of volunteers and advocates for pro-housing policies, directly impacting the well-being of families and communities. They've made significant strides, with hundreds of homes built or renovated and thousands of individuals served.

The organization operates a unique Affordable Homeownership Program tailored for families earning between 30-80% of the Area Medium Income (AMI), emphasizing a path to primary residence ownership.
