Your generous partnership helps Arizona families build strength, stability, and independence. Affordable homeownership is the key to building strong, stable communities for generations to come.

At Habitat for Humanity Tucson, we build. We build because we believe that everyone, everywhere, should have a safe, healthy, affordable place to call home.

Since 1980 we have built nearly 500 homes with the support of 12,000+ volunteers. Our Volunteers assist in all areas of our operations, including:

In an affordable home, families have more to spend on food, medicine, childcare, education, and other essentials

In a stable home, families have a peaceful, warm place full of memories to enjoy and pass on to their loved ones.

In a healthy home, children, adults, and elders can thrive to their fullest potential.

Ritiek (Reh - teek), her mom, and her younger sister were one of the many families forced to flee Afghanistan in 1995. Four years later, they were welcomed in Tucson, Arizona in the summer of 1999. She and her family were the first Afghan refugees to be resettled in Tucson, Arizona.

The need to support refugees now is more urgent than ever: the United Nations reports that there over 22 million refugees living in displacement today, and over half of them are children. When we support refugees and give them the tools to flourish, they can accomplish amazing things: I know because I came to this country as a refugee. Our office is honored and privileged to be a part of such a generous, compassionate, and welcoming community. I hope that you, too, will take action to support our work bringing refugees from harm to home.
