Mid-Yellowstone Valley Habitat for Humanity is an Equal Housing Opportunity builder. We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin.
All potential applicants must contact Habitat for Humanity Mid-Yellowstone directly for pre-screening and an application.
To date, Habitat for Humanity Mid-Yellowstone has built 43 homes for deserving families.
The ReStore is a building materials re-sale store that raises money to help fund home construction.
We receive used building materials via donations from individuals who are remodeling, contractors who have leftover items and businesses that have unwanted or returned items they can`t use. We sell these items at a fraction of the "new" price.
Our store helps homeowners fix up their houses at a price that is affordable.
ReStores also keep tons of items out of the landfill.
There are hundreds of Habitat for Humanity ReStores all over the world.
Now Billings has one of its very own!
