Who We Are

Habitat for Humanity is a people-to-people partnership drawing families and community together with volunteers and resources to build decent, affordable housing for people in need.  Habitat affiliates have built houses and provided shelter for thousands of people all over the world.

Are you a good writer?

We have recently learned of several opportunities to get grants to help cover the cost of building housing for people in need.  If you know how to write grants, great! We need you!.  If you don't know how to write grants, don't worry - we are partners with other Habitat for Humanity chapters and local charities that have offered to help us as we get started writing grants.  If you are interested in this unique opportunity to help the needy in our area, please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

SCHFH Home Repair in Vernon

UPDATE: Project Complete - Dedication was May 17th

If you would like make a donation towards the outstanding cost of materials  for this project please either mail a check to our office or click on the donate button & contribute through PayPal by either check or credit card and put "Lou Cimaglia" as the notation.

Our current project is a home repair ministry in Vernon. Lou Cimaglia, a 22 year old grad student at Monmouth University suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident last November that left him paralyzed and requiring 24 hour care. Lou’s options are spending the rest of his life in a distant nursing home or coming home to Vernon with his Mom, Maureen, providing ‘round the clock care. 

Having Lou at home in a familiar environment surrounded by family and friends seemed like the best solution, but Maureen’s house wasn’t handicapped accessible. Friends of the Cimaglia family, Paulie & Mary Sordella, contacted Sussex County Habitat and we have been working on getting the house ready for Lou’s homecoming.
