About

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark

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.

Non-Proselytizing policy

Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations (including Habitat of Greater Newark) will not proselytize. Nor will HFH work with entities or individuals who insist on proselytizing as a part of their work with HFH. This means that HFH will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to the messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.

Your support—just $20 or any amount you can afford—helps a Northern New Jersey family build a decent place to call home.
