ABOUT US
For eleven years, we have helped low-income families living in sub-standard housing achieve their dream of home ownership. It is a success story in Camden County of volunteer workers partnering with individual donors; business and corporate sponsors; churches; and social and community organizations to construct safe, comfortable, affordable shelters. Since becoming an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International in 1997, 13 adults with 28 children have moved into eight homes in Camden County. Their lives have changed as their living conditions have improved. As we move forward, we need your help. If you are already a supporter, please continue your support or even increase it. If you have not supported us before, please add our name to your list of charitable causes. You will be helping a family to take a step-up and because Lake of the Ozarks Habitat for Humanity has been approved as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, donations qualify as a deduction on federal tax returns.
The cost of an average house in Camden County is approximately $80,000. We also tithe ten percent of all money raised for local houses to the Interfaith Habitat Program in Ireland and, because housing costs in third world countries are so low, we have built as many houses internationally as we have nationally.
We have just recently opened a new Habitat ReStore in the Keystone Business Park on Highway 5, just three miles south of the square in Camdenton. Read More

Mission Statement
The mission of Lake of the Ozarks Habitat for Humanity is to work in partnership with low income families, donors and volunteers to provide decent, affordable shelter for those living at poverty levels and in sub-standard housing. For eleven years, we have helped low-income families and those living in sub-standard housing achieve their dream of home ownership. It is a success story in Camden County of volunteer workers partnering with donors; business and corporate sponsors; churches; and social and community organizations to construct safe, comfortable, affordable shelters. Habitat for Humanity is not a give-away program. Selected families agree to provide "sweat equity" helping in the construction of their home. Upon completion of the home and their "sweat equity" hours, the family enters into a non-interest mortgage with us for a specified number of years.
Since becoming an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International in 1997, 13 adults with 28 children moved into the eight homes built by our local affiliate.
