5,000 Builds Across Tennessee

In October of 2022, Habitat for Humanity in Tennessee celebrated the building of our 5,000th habitat home. For more than 45 years, we have worked to provide safe and affordable homes to families in need across Tennessee!

Habitat for Humanity in Tennessee empowers families to create better futures for themselves by providing them with access to safe and affordable housing. Over the past four and a half decades we have been dedicated to transforming communities, strengthening families, and inspiring hope in thousands of Tennesseans. In addition to the 5,000 new homes, Habitat Tennessee has renovated or repaired more than 2,500 homes and served more than 27,000 children and adults.

THDA + Habitat


Since 2008, THDA has made it possible for Habitat for Humanity to build 367 homes across Tennessee. A total development value of $42 million; THDA provided $6.9 million of these funds and Habitat raised $35 million through other grant programs and donations of funds, labor and goods. As a result of this partnership, over 1,300 children and adults now live in a newly constructed, energy efficient, affordable home that they own; building strength, stability and self-reliance! Thirty-eight percent of these homes were sold to families of special needs or elderly populations.
