Habitat for Humanity of Greater Plymouth, Inc., is a non-profit, 501(c)3, tax-exempt organization incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts and an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Inc. Habitat for Humanity (both the international organization and its local affiliates)is a nondenominational, Christian housing organization that welcomes all faith relations to join in building simp
le, decent, affordable, houses in partnership with those in need of adequate shelter. The mission of our affiliate is the same as that of Habitat for Humanity International – To eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. In pursuit of that goal, our affiliate strives to provide affordable housing to families in need in the ‘Cranberry Country’ of Plymouth, Carver, Plympton, Middleborough, Lakeville and Kingston, Massachusetts. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Plymouth was recognized as an affiliate of Habitat International in 1997 after beginning as a chapter of South Shore Habitat for Humanity in 1995. We completed our first home in 1999 and continue to build homes as well as complete special projects such as critical additions and wheelchair ramps. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families.
