Welcome to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark
Our Impact in Numbers
Together, we’re building homes, hope, and stronger communities
Our Mission
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark’s (HFHGN) mission is to provide decent, affordable housing in partnership with low and moderate-income families, and together work to revitalize communities in Essex, Hudson and Union Counties. For over 35 years, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark (HFHGN) has helped to forge both a visible community of low-moderate-income families achieving safe shelter, and a community of volunteers making a positive difference and contribution to their local neighborhoods.
Meet Our Community
Mr. Irving Ealy, a lifelong Newark resident, has faced many challenges, including being hard of hearing, blind in one eye, and living as a wheelchair user. Thanks to the support of our volunteers and donors, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark was able to build a wheelchair-accessible bathroom, giving Mr. Ealy the freedom to move safely and live more independently in his own home. Together, we’re helping neighbors like Mr. Ealy live with dignity, comfort, and pride.
