Habitat for Humanity Milledgeville-Baldwin County is a nonprofit organization that helps families build and improve places to call home. We believe affordable housing plays a critical role in strong and stable communities.

Milledgeville/Baldwin County (HFHMBC) was incorporated in 1994 and completed its first home in 1996. By 2002, 11 homes were completed and in 2018, the 19th house was built. We are currently in the process of planning a new Habitat home to be finished in the Spring of 2023!

In Georgia, 1 in 7 households spend more than half of their income on housing. The affordable housing crisis is dire and getting worse. We need your help to continue serving hard working Baldwin County residents seeking a hand up. Your gift today means families have a stable foundation on which to build a future & keep their house safe through home repairs for the elderly & disabled.

So far in 2022 we have:

*Partnered with area churches to build 2 wheelchair ramps 

*Partnered with Georgia College Freshmen & The Harrisburg Collaborative for a day of service in the Harrisburg Community. Harrisburg residents & GC students joined together to work in the garden, clean out the shed, & clean the community center.

*Hosted an Heirs Property Title Seminar with GA College Center for Health & Social Issues, & GA College Rural Studies Institute. 

*Our Milledgeville-Baldwin Habitat is excited to be a part of the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing Baldwin County housing team. Over the next 3 years, we will be provided important information, facilitation, & networking opportunities designed to help develop a locally-driven housing plan for the community. Being recognized as a GICH community is a highly sought-after designation & provides important benefits to the community.

Our mission & successes would not be possible without the unwavering support of our volunteers & community partners!!!
