L-C Valley Habitat for Humanity builds safe, decent, affordable housing for families in need in the LC Valley. We build houses where we can find affordable or donated land in Nez Perce County, ID or Asotin County, WA.

Our Site Selection Committee finds and determines the location of the home. Our Homeowner Selection Committee runs the application screening process and recommends an applicant to the Board of Directors.

Habitat home ownership is a serious commitment. The process can take over a year from start to finish.

In 2023, we will be building our 36th affordable home in the LC Valley.

The home will be built in the Hope Subdivision in the Lewiston Orchards.

Team Playhouse

The Playhouse Project is a unique team-building opportunity that gives small groups a meaningful, creative, and hands-on day of building playhouses that are then donated to local children.

No experience is necessary! Our staff loves to teach volunteers of any skill level everything they need to know. To learn more about our new program or how your business or organization can sponsor a playhouse project, visit HERE.
