Home Preservation

Our Home Preservation Program is a repair program for homeowners in Polk County and Landrum, SC.  Home Preservation Projects will be scheduled on an as-needed basis.  Volunteers interested in participating should contact the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@habitat-hvl.org to sign up for upcoming projects.

Most home repair projects will need 3-4 volunteers per day.
