Lakeland Habitat for Humanity is committed to the development of decent, affordable housing. We work with businesses, churches and organizations in Lakeland and surrounding communities to ensure that the experience of long-term home ownership is achieved for our homeowners, low-income elderly and Veterans.

Recently our focus has moved from building to our Home Repair Program with its focus on our Veterans, elderly and low-income homeowners who are living in unsafe housing. This came about with COVID and inflation resulting in cost and availability of building supplies.

Our Home Repair Program can help families who are struggling to maintain their home due to age, disability or family circumstances. The program focuses on existing structures with interior or exterior work performed to alleviate critical health, life and safety issues or code violations. The repairs could be leaky roofs, broken windows, plumbing problems, and other small, critically needed home repairs.
