Leading our community forward by empowering families and building hope through equitable access to home ownership.
In our 32 years of service to the Danville and Pittsylvania County area, Danville-Pittsylvania County Habitat for Humanity has been privileged to be a force for positive change in over 200 lives.
Foundations, grant funders, individuals, businesses and churches have partnered with us to provide opportunities for more than 50 families to have a better place to live.
After years of preparation, DPCHFH has now begun the journey of creating a new neighborhood – a community where Habitat for Humanity partner families support each other and work side by side to build each other’s houses. This is what community is all about!
The Habitat Village North community will offer 20+ families a decent, safe and affordable home to help their families grow and become homeowners for life.
Thanks to our generous supporters, Phase 1 of this project is almost complete with four of the five houses currently under construction.
Families have been selected and have begun to build their new homes and way of life.
With Phase 1 almost complete, we look forward to the start of Phase 2.
We invite you to join us in this exciting project as we continue to make affordable homeownership a reality.
Danville-Pittsylvania County Habitat for Humanity is pleased to announce that the Habitat Village North community has officially been renamed England Trail in memory of our beloved friend Sherman England. Sherman was a member of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, which donated the land that this community is being built on. Sherman was a tremendous supporter of this project. The name England Trail honors Sherman’s determination to see this community become a reality as well as his love for riding trails on his bicycle.
DPC Habitat for Humanity (DPCHFH) looks toward our future with our most challenging project in the creation of a community of homes in Habitat Village. Habitat Village will create a neighborhood that will not only have 20-plus Habitat homes, but will also have 25% of the land dedicated to be used as community space.
​
Through the Habitat Village project, DPCHFH will partner with 20-plus families, build their houses from scratch, and provide the owners with a safe and secure community. This will allow partner families to focus on things like work, school, and wellbeing.
​
The first three partner families have been selected: Fountain family, Holland family, and the Keene family. Their housing needs varied from health-related issues with mold, substandard housing conditions to overcrowding with seven people living in a 3 bedroom, 1 bath house. They have all met the ability to pay qualification, and are showing their willingness to partner by putting in sweat equity hours.
​
Be in prayer for these families as they begin a new, better life free of their current barriers.
The excitement of Habitat Village North is overwhelming!
​
Imagine it....20-plus families who will gain a new perspective on life and create lasting joy and better health. These families will partner with DPC Habitat for Humanity to build their own house all while learning valuable skills to make their house a HOME!
There is no greater feeling than accomplishment in making your own dreams come true!
Partner with DPC Habitat for Humanity and welcome home these families in need of a safe, affordable quality built house.
