DuPage and Chicago South Suburbs Habitat for Humanity

Governed by a local volunteer board of directors, DuPage Habitat lowers homebuilding costs by relying primarily on volunteer time to build and renovate homes, to run many of our critical operations and to provide supportive services to our partner families. Since 1995, DuPage Habitat has partnered with the community to build and sell homes to just over 80 families in DuPage County and have better housed 320 individuals.

In addition, DuPage Habitat participates in Habitat for Humanity^®International's "House for a House" program, tithing the funds to build a home in the Dominican Republic for every home built locally.

Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Our vision is world where everyone has a decent place to live. We all deserve a decent place live.

DuPage Habitat was founded in 1995 by Dick and Florence Nogaj as a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity^® International. Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical, Christian movement dedicated to building and selling homes in partnership with limited-income, working families.

Since its founding in 1976, Habitat for Humanity has built more than 500,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1 million people with safe, decent, affordable shelter. Today, Habitat for Humanity is the largest non-publically traded construction company in the US, and the only nonprofit organization in list of the Top 20 homebuilders.
