Our Mission
Habitat for Humanity of Tompkins and Cortland Counties (TCHFH) is a non-profit ecumenical housing ministry dedicated to the elimination of substandard housing and homelessness worldwide. Established in 1987 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, TCHFH has built thirteen homes in our communities. With volunteer labor and lots of spirit, we build and rehab modest homes in partnership with families in need. In 2007, TCHFH adopted the goal of building energy efficient and environmentally “green” houses. 165 Tompkins St., Cortland was our first “green” home.
For every house TCHFH builds here, in the United States, we are committed to providing significant financial support of house-building efforts in other countries by participating in the tithe program. Currently, we are supporting our 10th international house.
