A Habitat Home Dedication is a celebration held at the conclusion of the build/renovation and before the family moves in their new home.

At the dedication, all the hard work and dedication the family, volunteers, supporters, etc. have put in, getting us to this point is recognized. The new homeowners are presented with the keys to the home and there is a ribbon cutting, prayer, a tour of the new home, and refreshments.

Habitat welcomes everyone to attend our next home dedication on Tuesday, September 28 at 6:00 p.m. The address is 130 Marlow Street, SW, Leesburg, VA 20175.
Open Applications in October
As active participants in building a better future for themselves and their families, qualified Loudoun Habitat homebuyers are:
  • In need of better housing. Potential homebuyers might be living in over crowded or deteriorating conditions, living with family or friends, or paying too much to rent a sub-standard house or apartment.
  • Willing to partner with Loudoun Habitat. Once selected, Habitat homeowners partner with us through the process. This partnership includes performing "Sweat equity," by helping to build their home or one of another family. Sweat equity can also include working in the Loudoun Habitat ReStore, and/or participating in personal finance and home maintenance classes.
  • Able to pay an affordable mortgage. Potential homebuyers must have a steady income in order to pay an affordable mortgage.
  • Potential homebuyers must currently live and consistently lived in Loudoun County for 12 months. Potential homebuyers need to provide proof of US citizenship, or a Permanent Resident Card, or Alien Registration Receipt Card with photograph (INS form 1-551 or 1-151).

If you or someone you know, is interested in applying for our Homeownership Program, applications will be available beginning October 1, 2021.
Thank you to our August Team Build partners
Our Team Building program is an employee engagement opportunity building stronger teams, while providing employees with a unique way to give back to their community. Team Builds can engage employees and encourage stronger relationships, all while learning new skills.

Habitat provides all the tools, building materials, and training for your Team Build; no construction experience is needed. Teams contribute a donation in conjunction with their build day to cover the cost of materials and supervision for the build. This support also allows us to continue to provide affordable housing opportunities for families.

In August, we had groups from Microsoft, Loudoun Medical Group and The Caputo Group on site. We can not thank them enough for their time, their talents and their support of Loudoun Habitat.

If your group is interested in a Team Build opportunity, please contact Kathy Martin via email here.
Volunteers from Microsoft worked along side our construction staff to install this new fence in the back yard.
Thank you Microsoft
Thank you Loudoun Medical Group
In addition to painting, volunteers from the Loudoun Medical Group caulked all of the interior doorways and worked on the gate for the back fence.
The Caputo Group helped with the interior painting and floor installation.
Thank you to The Caputo Group
Thank you to Lowe's
Since 2014, Lowe’s has contributed over $9 million to support Habitat for Humanity affiliates as they complete Neighborhood Revitalization and Aging in Place projects.
 
This year, Loudoun Habitat for Humanity is 1 of 13 proud recipients of Lowe’s funding to support our Home Repair Program to help make homes in Loudoun County healthier and safer places to live. Lowe’s shares Habitat’s belief that having a safe, stable home helps bring strength, security and independence to families and ultimately communities.
 
Now through December 2021, Loudoun Habitat for Humanity will be completing up to 6 home repair projects for older adults in need of aging in place repairs. Our first approved Home Repair Applicant using funding from this grant will have her interior stairs repaired to prevent trips and falls (see photos below), the shower faucets will be replaced so that the homeowner no longer needs to use pliers to turn the water on and off (see photos below), and the homeowner’s clogged dryer vent will be cleaned to reduce the risk of fire and allow clothing to be properly dried.
 
If you or someone you know is in need of repairs that reduce the risk of trips or falls and increase the ability to complete activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, transferring, feeding, etc.) please use the button below for access to our Home Repair Application.
