HFHSC is a nonprofit, housing ministry that believes that everyone should have a decent, safe, and affordable place to live. Our partner families purchase these houses through no-profit, low-interest mortgage loans or innovative financing methods. We build and repair houses all over Salem County using volunteer labor and donations. In 2016 HFHSC launched the Recyclable Ramp Program which gives homebound individuals the freedom to safely live in their home and communities. In 2024, we launched the Veteran's Repair Corp. This program aids qualified veterans in critical home repairs. Participating veterans served as far back as World War II. But there is still much to be done! Join us in helping veterans and their families build strength, stability and independence through shelter and living safely in their homes.
