Our History
(and where we hope to go)
Scott County Habitat for Humanity: we’re not just building homes, we’re building futures. Born in 1990 from a shared vision, we’ve been empowering families in Scott County for decades, putting roofs over heads and hope in hearts. And in 2018, we amplified our impact, joining forces with Bourbon County Habitat (est. 1992) to create an even stronger force for change. Together, we’ve unlocked the dream of homeownership for over 50 families – a legacy we’re incredibly proud of! But we’re not stopping there. With our community booming, we’re laser-focused on expanding our reach, forging new partnerships, and pioneering innovative solutions to tackle the growing need for affordable housing. Join us! Your support fuels our mission, empowering families to build strength, stability, and self-reliance, one home at a time. Be part of something BIG.
