Edisto Habitat for Humanity — Opening doors to opportunity in Orangeburg, SC
Opening doors to opportunity
by building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.
Together, we are transforming lives.
Faith in Action Ministry
For many years, churches and faith communities have been at the heart of our mission to serve families throughout Orangeburg County and the surrounding areas. As we look toward the future, we believe God is calling us to deepen these partnerships and expand the ways we work together to serve our neighbors.
In response to that calling, we are forming Edisto Habitat's Faith in Action Ministry, a collaborative effort that brings together faith leaders and congregations that share a commitment to putting God's love into action through service.
Welcome Home, Sherrell! 🎉
Friday, June 5th, marked an incredible milestone for our mission as we gathered as a community to celebrate not only our 100th home and our 100th Habitat Family Partner, but also the first home on our 100th Home Block — a milestone made possible by the hard work, generosity, and partnership of so many. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for every single person who came out to celebrate.
How Our Homeownership Program Works
Willing to partner with Habitat
Habitat homebuyers put in hundreds of hours of 'sweat equity' helping build their own home and the homes of others in the program. This also includes classes in personal finances, home maintenance and other homeownership topics.
In need of better housing
Potential homebuyers might be dealing with poorly made, unhealthy or inadequate housing; unaffordable rent; homes inaccessible for their disabilities or damaged by natural disasters; or have other shelter needs.
Able to pay an affordable mortgage
Habitat offers homebuyers an affordable mortgage. Their mortgage payments cycle back into the community to help build more affordable houses.
What We Do
Since the formation of Edisto Habitat for Humanity in 1991, we have been providing homes in Orangeburg and the surrounding areas with safe, healthy places to call home. In 2024, we'll break ground on our 100th Home Block, marking the location with our 100th Edisto Habitat home.
