Northeast Texas Habitat for Humanity

It’s NE Texas Habitat's Birthday! 

We are celebrating 41 years serving Gregg, Harrison, and Upshur counties this month.
But this year, we’re not throwing a party.

We’re celebrating by protecting what matters most—home.

In Northeast Texas, more than 1 in 4 of the people you encounter every day are living in hazardous, unaffordable housing with no clear way out.  Across Texas, 1 in 3 households are spending so much on housing that there’s little left for basics—leaving them one repair or setback away from crisis.  When something breaks, it stays broken, and they cannot move.  So, they stay.

They stay in homes with leaking roofs, unsafe floors, failing systems, and spaces they can’t safely navigate—especially seniors and individuals with disabilities trying to move through their own homes.

For 41 years, Northeast Texas Habitat for Humanity has stood in that gap—serving 1,335 households and more than 3,300 people across our three counties. But now, funding cuts have taken a toll.  At least 75 local families will go without services this year unless we act now.

Celebrate our 41st year with us by protecting home with a birthday gift of one dollar for every year we’ve been building and repairing homes.

• $41 – Help a family live safer 
• $82 – A preventative service that makes two homes healthier for a child
• $123 – Supports accessibility needs like grab bars, safety rails, levered door handles and toilet risers for an older adult
• $410 – Helps multiple families live safely and restores dignity at home. 
• $___ – Whatever feels right to you today, will benefit your neighbor tomorrow

If you believe no one should have to live in a home that threatens their health, safety, or dignity—this is your moment.

Because someone in our community will go to bed tonight in an unsafe home - with your help, it doesn't have to stay that way.
