We're Building Strength, Stability, and Self-Reliance Through Shelter
Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity builds and preserves affordable homes in partnership with workforce families in El Paso County, Colorado.
We build homes year-round with valued assistance from our volunteers. Habitat homes are affordable, energy-efficient, permanent housing solutions for families across our community.
Partnerships with donors, sponsors, and volunteers help keep our houses affordable.
Habitat's award-winning design and energy-efficient building practices make our homes a sustainable investment.
By adding affordable homes to El Paso County's housing stock, we're increasing the rate of ownership in neighborhoods and creating stability for residents.
The Ridge at Sand Creek Neighborhood in Colorado Springs
The developed land of these 30 lots was donated by Love In Action, a Colorado nonprofit corporation.
We're building at least five brand-new, affordable houses in this community per year in partnership with El Paso County families, creating a mixed-income neighborhood. Each future Pikes Peak Habitat homeowner invests 200 hours in volunteering, spends more than 15 hours in financial education courses, and purchases their home with an affordable mortgage. Read about our The Ridge at Sand Creek Community Celebration event.
We acknowledge that the land on which we build is the traditional territory of the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapaho Peoples. We also recognize the 48 contemporary tribal nations that are historically tied to the lands that make up this region.
