Beginning in 1999, we have teamed with Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio, Inc. (HFHSA) to build an affordable home every fall here in San Antonio. Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio, Inc. (HFHSA) is an ecumenical Christian non-profit housing organization working in partnership with God’s people in need to build decent and affordable houses without interest or profit, thereby witnessing God’s love in action.

The St. Francis of Assisi Habitat team partnered with St. Luke’s Catholic Church for our 2022 Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio home build. We moved our usual Fall project to a Spring build. The home construction began on April 22, 2022, and ended with landscaping day on July 9. Our partnership with St. Luke’s enabled us to take “ownership” of the home-building process and allowed our group to build relationships with our homeowner and neighboring Catholic parish members.
