Founded in 1985, HFHGB is a partnership dedicated
to making shelter a matter of conscience. We challenge

in need of better housing.
HFHGB is part of an international Christian housing
ministry working hard to make the American dream of
a safe, decent home come true for all people. We furnish
the capital to build or renovate houses, and with
the help of volunteers, homeowners and applicants,
we are making this dream come true. Habitat for Humanity
of Greater Bridgeport is a partnership dedicated to
making shelter a matter of conscience. We challenge
individuals, churches, synagogues, businesses and
other organizations to lend a helping hand to those
in need of better housing. Building relationships
and community is as important to us as building homes.
Each project attempts to transcend the boundaries
of culture, status and reach through the sharing of
a common goal.
In 2001 our program has expanded to include the
new Habitat Construction Training Center (CTC) to
provide a comprehensive, educational, personal development
and job skill training program for "at risk youth."
CTC students receive vocational education and hands
on experience to prepare them for employment in the
construction trades.
