provides stable, reliable funding for our programs.

We believe in a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Habitat for Humanity Capital Region is a nonprofit organization that helps people build and improve places to call home in Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties, Michigan. We were founded on the conviction that everyone deserves a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.
During our 35+ year history in Greater Lansing, Habitat Capital Region has expanded the affordable housing stock in our communities and provided direct housing services to over 1,000 households through our affordable homeownership, home repair, and accessibility ramp programs.

Who We Serve

We build and repair homes in partnership with local people who are in need of a safe, decent, and affordable place to live. We work with low- to moderate-income families and individuals, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, political views, or any of the other distinctions that too often divide people.

How We Serve

Financially qualified families and individuals partner with us to purchase an affordable home or to make affordable exterior repairs and accessibility modifications to their home. Homebuyers help build their own homes alongside volunteers and purchase their homes from Habitat Capital Region with affordable mortgage payments set at or below 30% of their monthly income.

ReStore is the store that builds homes.

The Habitat ReStore is much more than just a place to find great deals on furniture, appliances, home décor, and building materials. ReStores are nonprofit thrift stores and donation centers that exist to fund the mission of Habitat for Humanity to build decent, affordable housing in partnership with local families.
Your donations and purchases at the ReStore help hardworking families build a great future on the strong foundation of home. Whether you shop, donate, or a little of both, everyone wins at the ReStore—it’s the store that builds homes!
