Habitat for Humanity Millstone Basin Area

What is Habitat?

The Millstone Basin Affiliate serves the New Jersey communities of Cranbury, East Windsor, Hightstown, Plainsboro, Washington Twp. and West Windsor as an independent unit of Habitat for Humanity International.

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat is founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, decent, affordable place to live in dignity and safety. Habitat has an open-door policy: all who desire to be a part of this work are welcome, regardless of religion, race, color or creed.

Youth United Rocks East Windsor

Our affiliate has a strong relationship with Youth United, a Habitat for Humanity program that brings community youth ages 5-25 together to fully sponsor and build a home with a local family. The youth are the leaders, planners, fund raisers, public relations specialists and builders. They work together to raise money and awareness, while youth ages 16-25 build the house on site under the close supervision of our construction leaders. Most importantly, through this program youth help fulfill a family's dream of having their own home. It is the adventure of a lifetime! Click here to see how Youth United is helping one of our partner families realize their dreams. You can also click here to learn more about Youth United and how you can help.
