 About Habitat for Humanity of Roosevelt & Curry Counties
Established in 1999, as a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Habitat for Humanity of Roosevelt & Curry Counties (HFHRCC) has built a total of 12 homes in Clovis and Portales. This has been accomplished through partnership with many generous local builders and businesses, individual and corporate donors, and volunteers, who devote many hours toward construction and repair of affordable housing for lower-income families. Qualified buyers purchase Habitat homes with zero-interest mortgages provided by HFHRCC and their payments help continue the mission to build future homes and preserve existing stock. HFHRCC also operates a Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Clovis, New Mexico, selling donated building materials, hardware and home supplies at substantial savings.
