Serving Portsmouth, Newington and Strafford County
Habitat for Humanity International brings families and communities in need together with volunteers and resources to build decent, affordable homes for those who need it.

In twelve years, the Southeast New Hampshire affiliate has completed twelve homes in Dover, Gonic, Northwood, Rochester, Somersworth and Farmington.
- We are in need of land and money for projects!

ReUse, ReCycle, ReBuild, ReStore! This July, the SENH board took an AMAZING step towards creating self-sustainability for our affiliate by approving the opening of a ReStore! We will be the FIRST ReStore in New Hampshire!! In a nutshell, Habitat ReStores are retail outlets where quality used and surplus building materials are sold at a fraction of normal prices. Proceeds from ReStores help local affiliates fund the construction of Habitat houses within the community. We are very excited to announce this news and will provide more details on this website as we progress forward! Please learn more about the forthcoming ReStore

On Saturday, April 12, 2008 we had an amazing cruise theme evening at the New England Center at UNH while raising thousands of dollars for our community! Thank you so much to all our sponsors, volunteers, and guests for making the evening truly a Night to Build Dreams!
