Idaho Falls Area Affiliate Prepares for Build 25
Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2012 and finish in June 2012. If you are interested in volunteering on this home build, please click here. We need both forms and the safety course completion certificate from you before your first day of work on a build site. Please plan to get this information to us as soon as you can. Filling out the forms and completing the safety course does not obligate you to work on the build.

Thank You

Thrivent Builds, private and corporate donations and grant funding together with labor and material donations from our local and nationwide build partners made it possible to complete our 23rd and 24th homes.

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Habitat® Idaho Falls Area
Habitat for Humanity® Idaho Falls Area is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International®, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat® Idaho Falls Area is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization which does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, disability or family status.
Habitat for Humanity® works in partnership with people in need to build simple, no-frills, affordable, sustainable, energy efficient housing in modest neighborhoods. The houses then are sold to the Build Partner family at no profit and with no interest charged.
Habitat® offers a hand up, not a handout.
About Us
Since the Idaho Falls Area Habitat for Humanity® affiliate was founded in 1994, 24 homes have been completed. For more information about us click here or click the green About Us button to the left.
Click the green News button to the left for current information about our affiliate, or the yellow Local Events button for Habitat events in our area.
Our affiliate builds green, energy efficient homes. The first Energy Star rated home in Idaho was built by the Idaho Falls Area affiliate, which has built six Energy Star homes since 2003.
Volunteers and Donors - All volunteer hours and donations benefit the Idaho Falls area
Volunteers provide most of the house construction labor, run the ReStore® (collecting, taking in, cleaning and selling donated items), serve on the Family Selection and other committees and on the Board of Directors. Individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat® houses.
If you would like to volunteer, click the green Get Involved button to the left for a downloadable Volunteer Interest form.
For information about donations to the Idaho Falls Area ReStore, click the link or the green ReStore button to the left.

Partner Families
Partner families invest hundreds of hours of labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity® that is used to build more houses. Partner families are selected by the Family Selection Committee through a competitive application process. Habitat® does not consider race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, disability or family status in the selection process. For more information about the Build Partner application process click the yellow Application button to the left, or click here.
