We understand that finding safe, affordable housing can be a challenge for many in our community. While Habitat for Humanity of Sumner County is honored to partner with families each year, our program has specific guidelines and does not provide emergency or short-term housing.

To support you in your housing journey, we have listed helpful resources below, including trusted counseling services and local organizations that may be able to assist with homeownership guidance, financial counseling and other housing needs.
