About Us : Habitat for Humanity Sarasota

Everyone deserves a decent place to live

Since 1985 Habitat Sarasota has addressed the need for affordable homeownership in Sarasota. Through our affordable housing and critical home repair programs, we have helped 400 families improve their living conditions.

Affordable Homeownership

Habitat for Humanity Sarasota builds affordable homes in Sarasota, FL. Upon completion, the homes are sold to income-qualified families in our affordable homeownership program. Our unique mortgage terms allow the monthly payments to be less than 30% of the gross household income. Our critical home repair program is a resource for homeowners that need help with aging in place, modifications and repairs to remove health and safety barriers.

Community partners help us accomplish our mission. Our programs are funded through foundation grants, partnerships with local government and charitable gifts. Each home we build requires hundreds of volunteers.

Habitat Sarasota operates a ReStore that was voted Best Used Furniture Store in Sarasota by the Herald-Tribune Reader’s Choice Awards in 2021. Our campus located at 2095 17th Street features three stores that sell gently-used furniture, home decor, home improvement materials, and much more to help fund the mission.

Hammock Place

Hammock Place is the first neighborhood of its kind in Sarasota. This community will serve 40 families with a single-family, affordable home.
