Building a Stronger Ellis County.
Habitat for Humanity of Ellis County is a Christian housing ministry that brings people together to build safe, affordable homes.
We partner with local families, volunteers, churches, and businesses to remove barriers to homeownership and strengthen our community.
Through new home construction, critical repairs, and community partnerships, we are building more than houses. We are building stability, dignity, and opportunity.

Homes Built. Lives Changed.
Since 2001, Habitat for Humanity of Ellis County has completed 14 homes across Ennis, Midlothian, and Waxahachie. Each home represents a family’s hard work, determination, and a community that showed up to build alongside them.

Apply for Assistance
Habitat for Humanity of Ellis County works alongside individuals and families who need safe, affordable housing. We help with building, repairing, and improving homes so people can live with dignity, independence, and security.
You may qualify if your current housing is overcrowded, unsafe, in poor condition, or too costly for your income. Applicants must meet income guidelines and program requirements. Every application is reviewed carefully and confidentially.
Lend a Hand. Make a Difference.
Volunteers are the heart of Habitat. Whether you are swinging a hammer, serving on a committee, or helping in the office, you play a vital role in building homes and hope. No construction experience is required.
Skilled leaders guide every project. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to serve on a construction site.
The Impact of Home
"Habitat made it possible through affordable monthly payments. While the loan is typically 30 years, I was blessed to pay off my home in 20 years. It took hard work and dedication, but I was determined to achieve one of life’s greatest accomplishments, becoming a homeowner. Now I have a place to call my own and a home where I can enjoy family, friends, holidays, and birthdays."

"We were very happy to
have been selected and blessed that we were able to move forward with this and provide our
children a home. If you really want something and you’ve put the effort to get what you want,
you can accomplish it. I wanted to do the program, to be part of the program, to qualify to have
a home for our family and we did it!”
Jessica Garcia
“It has been a long wait, but I’m glad that it finally came. I had to be patient because God is not
going to give you something until you are ready to have it. I have put in 100 hours of sweat
equity. It’s been hard, but fun and rewarding. There were some hot days, some rainy and some
cold.”
