HABITAT FOR HUMANITY MISSION STATEMENT
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
Our History
Habitat For Humanity of Montrose County became an affiliate in July 1991. We have constructed 42 Habitat homes and moved and renovated one home since 1992. In 1996 the affiliate began developing a 7 1/2 acre subdivision within the Montrose city limits. The 7 1/2 acres have been subdivided into 29 lots, and are now known as the Mesa Vista Habitat Community. Twenty-six Habitat families now reside in Mesa Vista. In 2010 we began a progam called “A Brush with Kindness”, in order to help low income homeowners fix up the exterior of their homes. Beginning in 2011 this program was expanded to include Critical Home Repair and Weatherization for low-income owner occupied homes in Montrose County. If you would like to organize a build for your organization or participate in the building of a home contact Bill Bond at 970-209-9576 The affiliate tithes quarterly to Habitat International. Through this tithing 26 families have recieved homes in foreign countries.
We are Breaking the Cycle of Poverty in our Community and restoring integrity!
