Home Construction

Got skills? It doesn’t matter! For more than 25 years, Memphis Habitat has “employed” largely unskilled volunteers in its efforts to eliminate substandard housing. There’s no feeling like showing up one morning to an empty slab and leaving that afternoon with an actual house (roof and all) sitting on that very same site.

Generally, Memphis Habitat builds a round of homes in both the fall (starting mid-September) and the spring (starting mid-March). Both Saturday and weekday volunteer opportunities for individuals are available. For more information about what’s happening with Habitat home construction, visit one or all of these pages:

If you have participated in a recent building project, we hope you will take a few minutes to fill out our volunteer survey and let us know how we're doing.
