This financial inflow supports the equivalent of 1,234 full-time jobs, helping to provide valuable employment opportunities within the communities we serve.
THDA + Habitat TN
Since 2008, Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee and the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) have worked side by side to expand access to affordable homeownership and strengthen communities across the state. Through this partnership, 457 homes have been built, representing $60 million in total development. THDA has invested $9.5 million through its Housing Trust Fund Program, while Habitat affiliates have leveraged an additional $50.5 million in grants, donations, volunteer labor, and in-kind contributions to make these homes possible.
In fiscal year 2025, the THDA Housing Trust Fund provided $500,000 to support the construction of 20 new homes across Tennessee. These homes—collectively appraised at $5.4 million, with an average value of $266,000—now provide safe, stable housing for 58 Tennesseans.
This work is a testament to what we can achieve together. Every home represents stability, opportunity, and hope for the future. Together, we build brighter futures for families across Tennessee. We are deeply grateful for THDA’s continued partnership and commitment, and we look forward to creating even more opportunities for homeownership, stronger communities, and lasting impact in the years ahead.
5,000 Builds Across Tennessee
In October 2022, Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee proudly celebrated a major milestone: the completion of our 5,000th Habitat home. For more than 45 years, we have been committed to providing safe, affordable housing to families in need across the state, empowering them to build brighter futures.
Throughout these decades of service, Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee has transformed communities, strengthened families, and inspired hope for thousands of Tennesseans. Beyond building 5,000 new homes, we have renovated or repaired over 2,500 homes, directly impacting the lives of more than 27,000 children and adults. Our work continues to create lasting change, one home and one family at a time.
