Founded in 1988, First Coast Habitat for Humanity, based in Jacksonville, Florida, is a leading non-profit organization dedicated to addressing the housing crisis. Originally operating as Habitat for Humanity of Jacksonville, Inc. (HabiJax), it has become one of the most successful Habitat affiliates in the U.S., helping approximately 2,400 families achieve homeownership. In 2025, HabiJax merged with Nassau Habitat for Humanity, expanding its mission across three counties.

First Coast Habitat offers affordable homeownership opportunities through a unique model where families qualify for low-interest loans and actively contribute to their home’s cost. The organization also operates the First Coast ReStore, a retail outlet selling new and refurbished building materials, with proceeds supporting home-building initiatives. Driven by faith, integrity, teamwork, and a commitment to continuous improvement, First Coast Habitat actively collaborates with community members to empower individuals in achieving sustainable housing. Through donations and volunteer efforts, the organization brings people together to build better futures for families in Northeast Florida.
