Catholic Build

In 2025, area Catholic churches partnered together for the Catholic Build to help Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley serve a local Washtenaw County family of low- to mid-income in need of decent, safe, and affordable housing. Partners align their church with our mission by donating to help cover costs, and volunteer to help build a home for a local family. As a Catholic Build partner, congregations come together to raise walls, funds, and prayers to make a difference right here in our own community.
