Specialties

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell (HFHGL) is a nonprofit 501©(3) organization that works to strengthen families and communities through affordable homeownership opportunities. HFHGL works in partnership with corporations, like-​minded community groups, faith-​based organizations, and individual volunteers to develop communities with people in need by building and renovating simple, decent, energy efficient, affordable homes. Not only do Habitat families pay for their homes through a monthly mortgage, they also put in between 225 and 400 hours of sweat equity prior to becoming homeowners.

Since its founding in 1991, HFHGL has built or renovated a total of 32 homes in Bedford, Billerica, Concord, Lowell, Reading, and Westford and completed 6 Critical Repair jobs for our Veterans and elderly. To date, HFHGL’s 2 largest completed projects were a 3-​duplex neighborhood, located at Harmony Way in Lowell and an 8 home neighborhood on Carter Way, Bedford.
