Habitat for Humanity of Key West and Lower Florida Keys provides affordable homeownership opportunities to low-income working families and critical home repairs to our community’s vulnerable elderly population. We are dedicated to empowerment, not entitlement, and bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. As a locally supported nonprofit the work we do is only made possible through support from the community. Proceeds from Habitat’s 2025 sold-out gala helped provide 9 families with affordable, safe homes to call their own, 5 senior household with critical home repairs allowing them to age in place, and 27 families with affordable rentals.
