Habitat of Jefferson County: Who We Are
Beaumont Habitat for Humanity was incorporated in October of 1978. Since that time, we have built and sold close to 100 houses in Jefferson County.

In May of 2007, we changed our name and geographic service area, expanding from the city of Beaumont to the county level. In just over two years, HFH of Jefferson County has built twelve houses in Port Arthur (including three in Sabine Pass).

As an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Habitat of Jefferson County is built on the same principals as Habitat International – it is a Christian based, ecumenical not for profit organization whose mission is to eliminate poverty housing. Habitat strives to do this by building modest, affordable homes together with motivated partner families who cannot afford a conventional or government-backed mortgage.

Habitat partner families earn between 30% and 60% of area median income. They contribute 300 hours of sweat equity to help the affiliate with house construction, the ReStore and other events. Once the partner family has fulfilled its obligations and their home is ready for occupation, they purchase their house from Habitat at below cost and pas a zero-interest, twenty year mortgage to the affiliate. Principle payments go into a revolving fund that helps Habitat build more houses. Therefore, a Habitat homeowner becomes a Habitat supporter!

But we can’t do it without you. Habitat is a truly grassroots ministry that requires the support and involvement of the entire community. Consider volunteering with us, or make a donation today.
