Fauquier Habitat for Humanity

Why Support Home is the Key? Simply put, home is the key to a better future. Shelter is not a privilege — it’s a human need. Decent, affordable housing plays a key role in a family’s education, health, wealth and well-being. However, not every household has the same opportunities to succeed. Homeownership is a key driver of American household wealth. But structural inequality in the U.S. housing market has widened homeownership disparities compared to when the Fair Housing Act was passed in 1968.

In Fauquier County, where the average price of a three-bedroom home is almost $600,000, homeownership is unattainable for many, including our teachers, firefighters and police officers. The delays and cuts occurring within the federal budget further affect rural communities like Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties, which rely on USDA and other federal agencies for down payment assistance and low-interest financing. 

A big "thank you" to everyone who has contributed to the campaign so far; we really appreciate it! There's still more to be done -- support Fauquier Habitat today to make it possible for local families to access affordable homeownership!
