For 26 years, Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Connecticut has participated in working to build stronger communities. We treasure our volunteers, donors from the past and present, and those who work with us to create lasting impacts for hard-working local families. Without our wonderful community, we could not provide the opportunity of affordable home ownership and help families to achieve their dreams of a brighter future.
Since 1991, helping families achieve strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter in Canaan/Falls Village, Cornwall, Norfolk, North Canaan, Salisbury and Sharon.

The RV Care-A-Vanners included:
- Ty and Larry Jones from Illinois
- Barbara and Phil Schuler from South Dakota
- Carolyn and Dan Banks from New Mexico

WE WILL SOON BE DOING MORE SHOUT-OUTS FOR VOLUNTEERS TO HELP US GET OUR 3RD FAMILY OF 2017 INTO THEIR HOME!
Now that we’ve gotten “2 Families in Two Weekends” complete, we’ve turned our attention to our project at 273 Low Road! Heather and Nate Ciccotelli and their 5 children are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to move into their new home, so the help of any and all will be MUCH APPRECIATED!
Many thanks as well to the Sharon Housing Trust for working with Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Connecticut to provide another affordable home to our community! It takes all of us working together to make change in small doses…
