Habitat's vision: a world where everyone has a decent place to live


Home Preservation



Volunteers helping lower income families with modest home repair and improvements.




What is Home Preservation?


Home Preservation is a program of Habitat for Humanity of Roosevelt &Curry Counties that helps low-income homeowners by offering minor home improvements. Volunteer teams work to improve the condition of homes by painting and performing minor repairs at minimal costs to the homeowners who would be unable to complete the repairs on their own. Able-bodied homeowners are encouraged to work alongside the volunteers in a cooperative effort. This program is for homeowners earning 50% or less of the median income for the county in which they live. (Income Guidelines are below.)






Our Latest Project


Habitat is proud to say that our repair is complete, though we had a few more obstacles than expected. Thanks to the efforts of the roofing crew, who braved the cold, the job was completed just in time for the New Year. We hope it will be a better year for the homeowner, who can now enjoy it in comfort, be it rain snow sleet or sunshine. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved, each of you made a difference, and it’s thanks to all of you that Habitat could make this happen.
