I'm a first responder during this pandemic, and I needed help. Barry was not only professional, but he also treated me as a friend.

Barry was great to work with! From the very first e-mail I sent inquiring about selling our home to the very last e-mail wishing us well, he was in constant contact and on the ball.

It made selling our home quick and painless!! Thanks again, Barry!

Homesmith Proudly Supports Habitat for Humanity

The overwhelming need for housing in our communities has provided Habitat for Humanity a relevant opportunity to change lives in our own neighborhoods.

Affordable, decent housing is one of our most basic human needs, yet it remains in short supply both locally and around the world. A decent place to call home brings stability and helps launch families into generational change. That includes better health, stronger opportunities, and a higher quality of life.

Since its founding, Habitat for Humanity International has built over 800,000 homes, sheltering more than 1 million people across nearly 80 countries. A new Habitat home is completed somewhere in the world every 21 minutes!

In Central Ohio, Habitat for Humanity MidOhio and Habitat for Humanity of Delaware and Union Counties work with volunteers, donors, families, and local partners to address this critical housing need.

Local chapters are focused on making affordable homeownership possible for hardworking, low-income individuals and families across the state.

Join Thousands of Volunteers in Giving Back

Habitat for Humanity believes everyone deserves a decent, affordable place to live. Everyone is welcome to be a part of the work, regardless of race, religion, gender, political beliefs, or background.

Homesmith encourages Ohio residents to support this mission in any way possible. If you're able, consider volunteering at a local Habitat chapter near you.

In light of recent events, we know that we must rise up and meet the affordable housing needs in our community. With your help, we’ll do just that.
