Blue Ridge Habitat for Humanity (BRHFH) is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization focused on building and rehabilitating homes, communities and hope. Since 1997, BRHFH has helped change the lives of 87 hardworking family homeowners in Winchester city, and the counties of Frederick, Clarke, and Shenandoah. Through our home-buying and rental programs, we have provided shelter for over 250 men, women and children. Candidates served by our homeownership program must have an income that is 30-80% below the local Area Median Income. Each adult family member invests 250 sweat equity hours building their home or those of other BRHFH future homeowners. In addition, they must attend a series of educational workshops regarding finances and homeownership.
