Thank you for your consideration in partnering with Habitat Pinellas for new home construction and renovations within Pinellas County. Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County is a nonprofit organization created to provide affordable housing for low-income, working families.

Habitat Pinellas is now accepting bids from qualified businesses interested in providing service for our current construction projects.

Depending on the size and needs of each homeowner family, Habitat Pinellas builds new single family residences that follow either a two-bedroom/one- or two-bathroom, three-bedroom/two-bathroom, four-bedroom/two-bathroom, five-bedroom/two-bathroom or a six-bedroom/two-bathroom design prototype that makes efficient use of living space and functions well for the whole family. We also renovate existing two-, three- and four-bedroom homes and condos, along with building new townhomes.

together we can build them a better future

Habitat Pinellas’s ideal partner is an engaged, responsive and experienced builder that is familiar with the Habitat for Humanity brand. Price, quality, timeliness, previous experience, course of prior dealings and overall Contractor/Vendor value to the Habitat mission and ministry are all important factors in the selection process. Since Habitat strives to use approximately 60 percent volunteer labor in the construction of our homes, we require our partners to exhibit patience and flexibility in working alongside these volunteers.

what we build

Habitat homes around the world are built according to the same guiding principles:

Simple
Habitat houses are modestly sized. They are large enough for the homeowner family’s needs, but small enough to keep construction and maintenance costs to a minimum.

Decent
Habitat for Humanity uses quality, locally available building materials. Habitat house designs reflect the local climate and culture.

Affordable
The labor of volunteers and partner families, efficient building methods, modest house sizes and no-profit loans make it affordable for low-income families to purchase Habitat houses.

Habitat also strives to build sustainable, energy-efficient housing that is both environmentally friendly and more cost-effective for low-income homeowners to maintain.

where we build

Since 1985, Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas has been building safe, decent and affordable homes in communities throughout Pinellas County, including:

St. Petersburg, Pinellas Park, Seminole, Unincorporated Pinellas County, Clearwater, Safety Harbor and Tarpon Springs.
