Housing is a basic human need
Housing is the basic necessity of every human being along with food and water. Sadly, many people are without a simple decent place to live safely and in dignity.
How we help
Together with the assistance of Crossroads Missions, seven parishes of Vicariate VE aim to assist Will County Habitat for Humannity through fundraising for building materials, and by constucting the house framing on the Build Day.
The walls are transported to the home site where Will County Habitat for Humanity will complete the house with other volunteers and skilled tradespeople.
Upon completion, the home will be dedicated to a family in need.
