A partner is an organization that, alone or with others, provides funding and volunteer labor to build the home.
Partners currently contribute at least $50,000 toward the cost of construction materials to build one Habitat home, often side-by side with the Habitat homeowner family.

Yes. Your organization’s commitment of time, talent, and resources at whatever level that you are able to contribute will help. Habitat will work with you to bring interested organizations and businesses together to help form a partnership or to join an existing partnership.
Orange County Habitat’s construction team has full-time construction coordinators who order the materials and handle all of the inspections and subcontractors. Our professional building crew is volunteer-oriented and includes a construction supervisor and a site supervisor. We provide all the tools and the task training to enable our volunteers to have a safe, productive, and enjoyable building experience.
It typically takes a dozen or more volunteers on site for at least 16 consecutive Saturdays (excluding holiday weekends and workdays canceled due to inclement weather) to construct a Habitat house. This does not include some specialized tasks done during the week by professional subcontractors and more experienced volunteers. A range of skills is expected among volunteers, from completely unskilled to those able to supervise other volunteers.
