We build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.
Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity (GSHFH) is a housing ministry dedicated to strengthening communities by empowering low-income families to change their lives and the lives of future generations through homeownership and home preservation opportunities. This is accomplished by working in partnership with diverse people, from all walks of life, to build simple, decent, affordable housing.
GSHFH recently completed its latest house.

Meet Natasha, our newest homeowner. In this 3:31-minute video, watch her embark on the journey of homeownership through our organization. From her acceptance to opening the front door on her new home – that she helped build. Natasha reminds us "a house is made of walls and beams, a home is made of love and dreams."
