History
Founded in 1986, Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity started as a local, grassroots organization that built one or two homes every year or so.
2001 was our first year of record growth as we began to build significantly more houses every year and have not stopped yet!
2008 was a milestone year for GDM Habitat as we dedicated our 100th home in Des Moines.
In 2010, thanks to the support of our dedicated volunteers and the generosity of our donors we will build and rehabilitate 22 homes.
