What
We Do
A community working together as one for a better tomorrow.
We are an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity, International, serving both Riley and Pottawatomie counties. We develop our own resources and funds to build affordable housing in our area. This happens through new construction, rehabilitation, neighborhood revitalization, home repair, and affordable housing advocacy. We are an HFH Aging in Place and a Veteran’s Affiliate and address/advocate for these issues as well. Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Our
Impact
Bringing families and friends together.
Habitat homeownership contributes to healthier families, greater success in school, more economic opportunity for families, and revitalized neighborhoods. For twenty-five years, Manhattan Area Habitat for Humanity has worked alongside community partners to help families on their homeownership journey. We have built 30 homes in Riley and Pottawatomie counties and only continue to grow. A home is more than four walls and a roof. It’s a place to rest, a place to learn and a place that can shape your future.
We are driven by a simple vision; A world where everyone has a decent place to live.

We were saddened to learn that Kenrick Waite, co-owner and chef at The Little Grill, and lead singer of Muzizi passed away. Last year, Kenrick and the amazing bandmembers of Muzizi gave their time to play an amazing reggae show at our Valentine's Day event, Home is Where the Heart Is. Anyone who knew Kenrick knows that he brought so much love. Our thoughts are with his family, as we recommit the power of love to make this community a better place for all. Feel free to share photos from last year's gathering or other memories with Kenrick and we will share.
Save the date! Home is Where the Heart Is, our fundraising gala, will be on Valentine's Day (Tuesday, February 14th). That's right, we have your Valentine's Day plans in place. We'll eat, drink, and dance...all to help build a world where everyone has a decent place to live! Details forthcoming...

At Manhattan Area Habitat for Humanity, we believe that everyone deserves a decent place to live!
We're committed to supporting families like Evelina's, our next home buyer, who serves as the full-time caregiver for her daughter, who is autistic and non-verbal. Evelina is excited to purchase this home because of its accessible design, which reduces the risk for her daughter who has developed an eye disease, and because of the space for craft projects, which are essential to her daughter's therapy.
Alongside our partners at Kansas State University, Manhattan Area Technical College, and Fort Riley's HBI (Home Builders Institute), we're working to change not only how people see workforce housing, but how we build workforce housing. Our current build, our 31st, is the next iteration of last year's award-winning home design. Our builds are energy efficient, designed with the family in mind, and purchased through our 0% interest mortgage.
In the past month and a half, we've poured the concrete and raised the walls for Build 31 both of which utilize innovative building practices. Now it's time for solar panels, which will significantly lower the energy bills for Evelina's family.
We've been chipping away at this expense through the month of December.
Our new goal is to raise the full $7,000 for these solar panels by the end of January.
Thank you for investing in Build 31 and supporting our vision for a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Help us raise these solar panels this month!
