Harvard Habitat for Humanity

Welcome to Harvard Habitat for Humanity

Harvard Habitat for Humanity allows students to help build affordable housing alongside disadvantaged families who wish to become independent homeowners. Students have several options with Harvard Habitat, either traveling to Eastern Massachusetts on a weekend trip, participating in a Spring Break trip, or venturing abroad on an international trip.
