Who We Are

Mission:

Greeley Area Habitat for Humanity (GAHFH) is an ecumenical Christian housing ministry working in partnership with God and people everywhere from all walks of life.  We seek to develop communities with God’s people in need by building and renovating houses that, in turn, it sells to families.  Thereby there are decent houses in decent communities in which God’s people can live and grow into all that God intended.

GAHFH is an independently run non-profit organization acting in partnership with and on behalf of Habitat for Humanity International.
