Enhanced VolunteerHabitat for Humanity of Monroe County was founded in 1988 and operated entirely by volunteers until 1997. Now, we have about 20 staff members in our main office and ReStore. Over the last 35 years, Habitat has housed over 815 people–including 460 children. Currently, we are building an average of 8-10 homes each year and have nearly 30 families in our program. Through the work of thousands of volunteers and community partners, Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County has built over 220 homes.
Construction for the our first neighborhood, Cedar Chase, began in 2008 on Bloomington’s southwest side and is home to 46 families. The second neighborhood project off the B-Line trail, Trail View, began in 2014 and is nearing completion. Once finished, the neighborhood will house 34 families in a combination of single-family and paired homes.
