Greater Albuquerque Habitat for Humanity builds community by providing decent, affordable, energy efficient homes. Low income families in the 30- 60% of area median income (ami) range are eligible to receive homes. Recipient families work alongside volunteers and contribute at least 350 hours of "sweat equity" toward construction of their home.

Licensed contractors are used to complete critical home replacements such as roofs, water heaters and hvac units.
