Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston: Voluntourism
About
Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston builds affordable homes for individuals and families with low-to-moderate incomes, giving them the chance to become homeowners. An independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, it works across the City of Boston and 25 surrounding communities, from Arlington and Brookline to Chelsea, Medford, Newton, Waltham and Woburn. Its listing with Meet Boston presents it as a voluntourism option.
The organization was incorporated as a Massachusetts nonprofit in 1987 and has since built more than 120 homes, many in Boston’s Dorchester, Roxbury, Roslindale and South Boston neighborhoods. Program spending covers land acquisition and construction as well as giving partner families the opportunity to become successful homeowners. It is funded by donations from individuals, corporations and foundations, and it welcomes the chance to share its finances with supporters.
