Our Mission

"Lubbock Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit Christian organization committed to the mission of eliminating substandard housing in Lubbock, Texas"

Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian Organization dedicated to the idea that all people deserve a safe, decent and affordable home in which to live. Habitat is building in more than 75 foreign countries and over 1,600 cities in the U.S. and Canada. To date Lubbock Habitat has built and/or refurbished over 112 homes which house 139 adults and 262 children.

Habitat is people caring for people in a practical way. Volunteers do most of the work on Habitat homes. Funds for materials come from individuals, churches and organizations. Habitat is a hand-up not a hand-out program. Families selected as Habitat homebuyers purchase the houses with a 20 year no profit, no interest mortgage, to make the payments affordable.

LISD Byron Martin Technology Center:

2008/2009

Lubbock Habitat partners with the Helen Jones Foundation to sponsor a Habitat home which is built by the students at the L.I.S.D. Byron Martin Technology Center. This current home is the 8th Habitat home built by the trade school students.

Students build the shell of the home at the school to learn skills such as framing, roofing and electrical work. The home is later moved to the actual construction location. Not only are these students building a Habitat home for a needy family but they are learning a valuable trade to carry with them after school and earning their school credits as well.
