Baytown Habitat for Humanity currently builds one home each year. Applications for our homeownership program are not open at this time. Please follow us on social media for updates and future application opportunities.
Partner Families
Partnering with Baytown Habitat is the first step toward becoming a homeowner. We do not give away homes. Instead, we work alongside you. Homeownership requires commitment, so you’ll invest time in sweat equity and financial preparation while we guide and support you every step of the way.
