Morris County is one of New Jersey’s most affluent counties and yet, there are thousands of families living in inadequate or substandard housing because they can’t afford the area’s high prices. As a nonprofit, equal opportunity, ecumenical Christian housing ministry, we are dedicated to building decent, affordable housing with low-income families. Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.

We are looking for two families for a duplex that will be built in Dover starting in late summer. If interested, you must attend one of three Home Application Orientation sessions in May and June and must submit an application by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 22. Register for an orientation session under “Upcoming Events” in the right-hand column on this page.
