CENTRAL
VALLEY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
is an affiliate of
Habitat for Humanity International,
the ecumenical Christian housing
ministry founded by Millard and
Linda Fuller in 1976. Central Valley
Habitat was organized in 1988 when a
group of volunteers at the
Bridgewater Interchurch Food Pantry
became concerned about the
deplorable housing conditions they
saw in the community. They
incorporated as a non-profit
organization and were approved as a
Habitat affiliate. Central Valley
Habitat dedicated its first house in
Grottoes in 1989.
Since then, Central Valley
Habitat for Humanity has
continued to build simple,
decent homes for sale to
low-income families at no profit
and no interest in Harrisonburg
and Rockingham County. As of the
summer of 2009, CVHfH has
completed 45 homes in
Bridgewater, Briery Branch,
Broadway, Elkton, Grottoes,
Harrisonburg, Hinton, and
Timberville.
The cooperative effort between
Habitat volunteers and partner
families has grown to include
three Habitat Campus Chapters at
local schools, twenty-five
Covenant Churches, and many
local businesses and
organizations.
