About Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County
Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County began construction on its 100th home in June 2025, at Haven Pointe, the local nonprofit’s new $8 million residential neighborhood in Wentzville, Missouri. Marking a formal groundbreaking in July 2024, Haven Pointe will feature a mix of 46 professionally crafted attached townhomes and ranch-style homes, with four-to-six homes per unit, designed for individuals or families selected by Habitat to partner with, build and buy. For more information, visit www.habitatstcharles.org
Since 1997, the Habitat St. Charles construction team and selected homeowners have joined forces with more than 2,000 volunteers donating 14,000 hours each year. The nonprofit community-level affiliate operates in partnership with and on behalf of Habitat for Humanity, an international, non-governmental, nonprofit organization devoted to building strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.
Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County provides a “hand up” opportunity that transforms lives, builds a strong foundation and forges lasting relationships within communities for a bright future. Applicants and co-applicants selected for a Habitat home agree to perform a minimum of 150 “sweat equity” hours each, for a total of at least 300-to-450 hours in the building of their home or on other Habitat projects. In collaboration with community partners, Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County offers free financial coaching and skills to potential homeowners through the Homebuyer Readiness Program, in which participants learn about credit, debt, budgeting, setting goals and saving money. The organization also guides homeowners through an affordable mortgage repayment process.
To support and fund these efforts, Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County operates the Habitat St. Charles ReStore http://habitatstcharles.org/restore/ a retail outlet located at 186 Mid Rivers Center in St. Peters. Since opening in 2007, ReStore has diverted over 100,000 tons of waste from local landfills by selling donated new and used building materials, appliances, furniture and select home goods items back to the general public at fair prices. Funds raised at Habitat ReStore enable Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County to be self-sustaining, with the goal of 100 percent of every dollar donated going directly toward the building of simple, decent and affordable homes for families in St. Charles County. In addition, Habitat for Humanity of St. Charles County hosts an annual gala as its premier fundraiser in November, a trivia night each spring and supports the Women Build movement, an international effort in support of families to build strength, stability and independence through hands-on learning.
