Edisto Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that helps families build and improve places to call home. We believe affordable housing plays a critical role in strong and stable communities. Our mission is to bring people together in Orangeburg County to build homes, community, and opportunity.

Congratulations to The Keitt Family on your new home! Thank you to our dedicated volunteers and sponsors Allied Air Industries, LII Lennox Foundation, and the City of Orangeburg. We were honored to have House Representative Gilda Cobb-Hunter and City Councilwoman Annette Dees Grevious speak in support of our mission.

What We Do

Own a Home

Edisto Habitat for Humanity collaborates with families, volunteers, local businesses, partner organizations, home sponsors, and individual donors to address the substandard housing conditions that many people in our community face.

Habitat family partners purchase homes with a zero to low-interest mortgages, fostering generational wealth and creating opportunities for improved jobs, education, health, and more.

Starting in March, we will launch our new pilot program for our 99th Habitat home.

This program introduces our first cozy home inspired by the innovative tiny home concept. Thoughtfully designed and constructed with our renowned Edisto Habitat quality, this home will offer affordable, sustainable living while meeting the growing needs of Orangeburg County.

This fall, we're introducing our new 100th Home Block!
We’ll achieve a historic milestone this summer: completing our 100th Habitat home in Orangeburg! That’s 100 families whose lives have been forever changed through the stability of homeownership.

98th Home Groundbreaking Ceremony

The Times & Democrat reporter Dionne Gleaton interviews Keyon Ellison about her journey to becoming a homeowner.

Keyon highlights the vital role Edisto Habitat plays in Orangeburg and shares why achieving homeownership was a goal she pursued with unwavering determination.
Keyon’s advice: “Keep on pushing. Keep on pushing. Your time will come.”

This home was made possible by the generous support of our sponsors:
Premier Sponsor: Walker Industries
Lumber Sponsor: West Fraser
Flooring Sponsor: Swiss Krono
​
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors and volunteers for making our mission a reality. Together, we’re building hope and homes in our community!

Join us for The Ellisons' Home Dedication Ceremony on Wednesday, January 22 at noon.

Since 1991, we have completed 98 homes in Orangeburg County and have added multiple programs to serve our community including financial stability and education, disaster awareness, preparedness, and recovery, job skills, and a ramp program in partnership with A Brush with Kindness and Carpenters for Christ.

In 2025, we will begin our 100th Home Block.

Open the door to all things happening with Edisto Habitat.

How Homeownership Works

Our Habitat Partner Families go through a vigorous vetting process and must complete 20 hours of financial education classes, dedicate 250 - 350 hours of sweat equity - the time they spend building the home and those of others. 

APPLICATIONS CLOSED

We work to eliminate barriers to a better, healthier, more financially
​stable life through these initiatives.
