SENH - Community Toolbox- SPINNING GENEROSITY 2024

SENH Mission Statement:

The mission of Southeast New Hampshire (SENH) Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate poverty housing in Southeast New Hampshire. We envision a world where everyone has a decent place to live, seeking to put God’s love into action, and bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works to strengthen families and communities through affordable homeownership opportunities. SENH Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with corporations, like-minded community groups, faith-based organizations, and individual volunteers to develop communities by building and renovating simple, decent, affordable homes with hard-working people who are in need.

We partner with families whose income is above public housing guidelines and who are unable to qualify for conventional mortgages. Qualified families are given a hand up (not a hand out), and they pay a monthly no-interest mortgage to Habitat. These monies, in turn, go back into building more affordable homes. Habitat is committed to developing and uplifting families and communities in addition to constructing houses.

SENH Habitat for Humanity has proudly served Strafford County and 19 towns/cities in Rockingham County since our organization was established in 1994. To date, we have rehabilitated and/or built 30+ homes in Dover, Rochester, Raymond, Gonic, Northwood, Somersworth and Farmington.

Our largest completed project is a four-unit community in Farmington, NH. These builds have placed more than 120 local people in quality, affordable and safe housing.
