Habitat for Humanity Newark (HFHN) is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to building simple, decent homes for low income families in Essex County New Jersey. We build homes with hardworking partner families who supply over 400 hours of sweat equity. HFHN finances the home purchase with no interest mortgages. We are proud that 68 families have benefited from homes built with generous donations and by thousands of volunteers.
