Pickens County Habitat for Humanity builds and sells affordable homes to local families. Homeowners put in sweat equity on their own homes and the homes of others, take homeownership classes, and buy their house with an affordable mortgage. Our small staff relies on volunteers, local churches and businesses, and Clemson students to make it happen. Interns take on meaningful projects, earn professional certifications, and finish the semester with a recommendation from someone who knows what they can do.
