Habitat for Humanity
Originally founded in 1976 in rural Georgia, Habitat for Humanity has since spread to all fifty U.S. states and now works in over seventy countries around the world. For fifty years, Habitat's work has been a catalyst for stabilizing homes, families, and communities and has served over sixty-five million people worldwide.
West Side UMC is part of the Good News Group, a group of fifteen local churches that partner together to support our local chapter, Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley, which works to support affordable homeownership for low- to mid-income families in Washtenaw County. In the
Good News Group, we pool our money to sponsor the construction or remodeling of a house every year and we coordinate our congregations to bring volunteers to work on those houses every summer. Habitat estimates that each house requires roughly $80,000 in external funding and takes roughly 2,000 volunteer hours to complete. Since the Good News Group began, we have raised over a million dollars and have supported forty house projects in Washtenaw County! Through this generous support and hard work, we have helped forty local families find affordable housing and we are especially proud to say that over seventy children have grown up in Good News homes.
For over thirty-five years, Habitat has built homes, secured futures and strengthened communities. To learn more, visit https://www.h4h.org/goodnewsgroup. Join us now and help Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley provide affordable homeownership for a low- to mid- income family in Washtenaw County!
In summer 2026, the Good News Group will finish our sponsored house at 1015 Gault Dr, Ypsilanti (the future home of the Stovall Family) and begin work on a new house being built at 1353 Rolling Court, Ypsilanti. We have volunteer opportunities on Saturday, July 18, Friday, August 14, and Saturday, September 12, as well as other dates throughout the summer. If you would like to volunteer or have any questions, please contact us.
Thank you for supporting Habitat for Humanity through your generous gifts and service!
