Rabbi Rapport and the Interfaith Habitat crew after a long day of work.

The Jewish community and our community partners are building a Habitat House this fall every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:30-3:30 pm.

You can sign up for morning or afternoon shifts by calling Habitat at 502-805-1407. Location is off Newburg Road behind Bashford Manor in a very family-oriented neighborhood.

When people think of Habitat for Humanity of Metro Louisville, they think about building houses. And they should. Because since we began in 1985 we’ve built or renovated over 520 homes in Metro Louisville and Oldham County. But, while building is what we do, the reason we do it is to change lives. We build homes because they are essential building blocks for families and communities — especially when coupled with strong relationships and healthy neighborhoods.

In 2018, Habitat celebrated the start of our 500th home in Metro Louisville. Habitat is currently sheltering over 2,200 including 1,600 children. Homeownership unlocks the potential for families to build financial stability, to excel at work and school, and to grow up in a healthier environment. We build great homes, strong relationships, and healthy neighborhoods. This gives families and individuals the opportunity to live and grow into all that God intends.

No matter where we build, we’re a part of the neighborhood, whether it’s just putting up one house on a block or reinventing an entire streetscape. As stated in our mission, “Habitat brings people together”; we work with people everywhere, from all walks of life, to develop communities. We invite you to join us as we continue to build on our success to help make our great city even better. Together, we can build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.
