Founded in 1978, Sea Island Habitat for Humanity is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles. Located in Johns Island, ours is the third oldest Habitat affiliate in the world. We are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally through constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. We serve the communities of James, Johns, and Wadmalaw Islands, and have constructed over 350 homes in our 40 years of operation. ​ Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in safe communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.
