Habitat Vail Valley partners with local families in Eagle County to build a place they call home. Habitat homeowners help build their homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. A Habitat home is a stabilizing force for health, financial flexibility and childhood development.
"Each Saturday building homes for Habitat became the highlight in my life. The volunteers and staff became my team. Instead of fulfilling 250 sweat equity hours, I fulfilled 2000 hours. There were many days of blue fingernails from hammers and snow storms, but I learned that with patience and determination dreams come true."
- Liz, Habitat Vail Valley homeowner
Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
In 1995, a group of citizens formed Habitat for Humanity of Eagle and Lake Counties. Thirty years later, Habitat Vail Valley has worked with many hardworking locals, partnering to build permanently affordable housing.
Habitat for Humanity Vail Valley is celebrating 30 years by building 30 homes. The work we’re doing today shows just what a small group of passionate individuals can accomplish. We’ve partnered with hardworking locals to build affordable homeownership, ensuring strong community roots from Vail to Gypsum.
At the start, Habitat built one home per year. That number increased to four, six and eight. Between 2022 and 2024, Habitat built 46 homeownership opportunities. It is not enough: Affordable homeownership has always been an issue in Eagle County but nothing like it is today. This is why Habitat Vail Valley is committed to building to 200 homes by the end of 2028 — It took us 26 years to build our first 100 homes, we will complete the second 100 in just seven years. Join us in building and retaining community, with and for our critical workforce.
We work with families in need, to guarantee an affordable mortgage that is no more than 30% of their gross income.
Habitat homeowners are educators, law enforcement officers, tradespeople, healthcare, grocery store and resort employees who make Eagle County a vibrant place to live. However, homeownership is less attainable in 2025 than it has ever been. In communities where workforce housing was already scarce, the influx of remote workers pushed homeownership further out of reach of our local workforce, decimating available stock.
We’re energized and invigorated for the future. Join us on the journey to building a stronger community.
