Building houses, building hope in the Northern Berkshires

We have a new project underway as of November 2009: We purchased property in Williamstown recently for our new project, a rehab of a small home. See buildupdates for details on the project.

We are accepting applications for our next partner family. See our Apply for Ownership information for family application and selection. The application deadline is February 26. We hope to have a family selected and the project underway by early spring 2010.

Northern Berkshire Habitat for Humanity is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. HfHI seeks to:

  • Make decent, safe, and affordable housing a matter of conscience and action for all members of our community.
  • Eliminate poverty housing and homelessness worldwide.

Our affiliate is:

  • Locally funded. We receive no financial support from HFHI.
  • We serve the Northern Berkshire, Massachusetts, towns of Adams, Cheshire, Clarksburg, North Adams, and Williamstown, and Stamford, Vermont.
  • We invite people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build homes together in partnership with families in need.
