A home can change so much more than an address. ❤️🏡

For the Big Eagles, having a safe, affordable place to call home means new possibilities, greater stability, and a foundation to build on for years to come.

Their journey is one example of what happens when a community comes together to make homeownership possible.

On September 24th, we’ll gather for our annual Hearts for Habitat Fundraising Dinner & Auction to celebrate that impact - and to help make more stories like theirs possible.

Join us for an evening of connection, generosity, and hope as we continue building a stronger Black Hills community, one home at a time.

Affordable housing starts with more than a house. Sometimes, it starts with a conversation about where and how we build.

Have you ever wondered how local zoning decisions affect affordable housing?

Zoning can influence things like the types of homes that can be built, the size and density of neighborhoods, and how land is used. These decisions can have a real impact on the availability and cost of housing in a community.

At Black Hills Area Habitat for Humanity, we're focused on helping families achieve affordable homeownership. That means we also pay attention to the bigger picture—including the local policies and community decisions that can make it easier or harder to create affordable housing opportunities.

When we talk about affordable housing, we also need to talk about the policies and decisions that shape where and how we build.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Sometimes volunteering is simply about finding a way to help that works with your life.

Our volunteer spotlight is someone who first reached out to Habitat nearly 25 years ago, hoping to volunteer alongside her youngest daughter. Although the timing didn’t work out, she reconnected with us after moving back to Rapid City in 2021.

Today, she serves on our Fundraising Committee and has been especially involved with the Hearts for Habitat Dinner & Auction, helping with the Dessert Dash. 🍰
As a social worker, she has always had a heart for serving her community. She may not have the schedule to be on a construction crew or provide meals, but she found another way to make a difference.

And I love what she shared about volunteering: “I can do these time-limited fundraising tasks that support the organization, resulting in housing for participants.”

That’s what I love about our volunteers. There isn't just one way to serve. Whether you have a few hours, a special skill, or simply a desire to help, there is a place for you at Black Hills Area Habitat for Humanity.

What does volunteering look like for you?

Our Homeownership Program is built on partnership.

Families who qualify purchase their homes with an affordable mortgage, complete sweat equity by helping to build their own homes and those of others, and participate in homeowner education to prepare for long-term success.

But it doesn't stop with the house. A home can mean a child having a place to do homework, a family knowing they can stay in their community, and parents having the opportunity to build something they can pass on.

And no one builds that future alone. Volunteers pick up the tools, donors open doors, community partners step in, and families put in the time and hard work. That's what makes Black Hills Area Habitat for Humanity different.

Together, we're not simply building houses. We're helping families build a future they can call their own.

Summer flew by, and just like that, we welcomed our final YouthWorks volunteer group of the season from Our Savior Lutheran Church.

Though they were a small group, they made a big impact.

During their time with us, they learned about Habitat's mission, repaired furniture, mopped floors, pulled weeds, and toured one of our homes that will soon welcome a Habitat partner family.

This experience was about more than giving back—it was about growing in understanding. Kate and her peers learned more about the importance of affordable housing and how Habitat brings people together to help ensure everyone has a decent place to call home.

Thank you, Youthworks, for your enthusiasm, servant hearts, and willingness to learn the "why" behind what we do. You made a difference, and we hope this experience stays with you for years to come.

🎥 Watch as Kate shares what this experience meant to her.
