The HabiStore is changing the world one couch at a time! By selling surplus new and used building and home improvement materials, appliances and furniture to the public the HabiStore is diverting more than 200 tons of material from the landfill each year.
Usable materials, donated by retail businesses, contractors, individuals, and other organizations, are sold at below cost prices. Proceeds from the HabiStore fund the Habitat Tucson mission of eliminating poverty housing within our community.
Stop by and shop today! The HabiStore offers a variety of materials for home improvement including: appliances, tools, cabinets, light fixtures, doors, windows, hardware, furniture and general construction materials.
Habitat for Humanity Tucson has volunteer opportunities for just about everyone. There are lots of ways to help, from the construction site to our HabiStore and our office. No experience necessary!
Habitat for Humanity’s goal is to build safe, decent, affordable, quality houses for people in need. We rely on donations of money, land, material, and time to construct each home.
Habitat Tucson builds free standing homes and town-house style homes where two units share a wall.
While Habitat Tucson has constructed 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom homes, a standard Habitat house has three bedrooms, one and three-quarters baths and about 1,200 square feet. Refrigerators and stoves are provided in each home by Whirlpool through a national partnership. All homes are electric, not gas, and meet standards for Tucson Electric Power’s “TEP Guarantee” program.
Habitat Tucson is making plans to construct both 2-story homes as well as multi-story, attached condominums. We are also evolving our commitment to sustainable design and greenbuilding, including passive and active solar design, high R-value design, greywater plumbing, and adherence to such community standards as Pima County’s green program.

At Habitat, we know that a safe and decent home can change everything for a family. Children feel free to bring friends home to play, their grades improve and the opportunity for college becomes a reality. Instead of worrying about housing, families begin to consider college education for their children, employment training for themselves, and have time to volunteer in their neighborhood organizations. Habitat homeowners become taxpaying neighbors who value their homes and their neighborhoods.
“To someone who’s never had a home of their own before, a key is precious metal. It opens more than just a door; it opens up a whole new way of life. That’s why Habitat for Humanity is so close to my heart. Everyone deserves a decent, affordable home, and together we can make that happen,” Reba McEntire, singer.
