DID YOU KNOW?

At Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity, we don’t give homes away.

We partner with local families who are ready to purchase their first-ever home. Future homeowners:
✔️ Meet income guidelines
✔️ Qualify for a mortgage
✔️ Complete financial education classes
✔️ Contribute hundreds of partnership hours

Together, we build strength, stability, and self-reliance — creating a foundation for long-term stability and generational wealth right here in Berkshire County.

Homeownership is earned. And it changes everything.

How Do Neighbors Look Out for Neighbors in Pittsfield?

Join a confidential community conversation and receive a $50 gift card for sharing your experience.

When times get tough, formal programs often move too slowly, and neighbors, family, and friends are the ones who truly step up.

Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity is holding two small, virtual resident discussions this October. We want to learn how WestSide and Morningside residents navigate financial crunches, share resources, and help one another stay safely housed:
• Sharing resources when bills, rent, or utilities spike
• Trading childcare, rides, or emergency repairs to make ends meet
• What Pittsfield decision-makers need to understand about everyday survival in our neighborhoods

DETAILS:
Format: Small, private virtual group (Zoom)
Duration: 60 to 75 minutes
Dates: Thursday, October 1st at 6:00 pm
or Sunday, October 4th at 6:00 pm
Compensation: $50 gift card provided upon completion

Space is limited! Sign up now!

If you are chosen, we’ll contact you with a Zoom meeting link for the date you requested.

We could lose our $5,000 match — and we need your help.

Right now, we have an opportunity to make every donation go twice as far for local families and affordable homeownership.

But there’s a catch: we need to reach our $5,000 fundraising goal to take full advantage of the match.

We’re not there yet.

A gift of $25 can become $50.
$50 can become $100.
$100 can become $200.

If you’ve been thinking about giving, now is the moment. Your donation today can help us unlock these matching funds and put twice the resources to work building homes, opportunity, and a stronger Berkshire community.

Help us reach $5,000 and unlock the match.

Please share this post, too. Reaching one more person could make all the difference.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day!

SHOUT-OUT TO GEORGE & THE CREW AT SHEDS N STUFF! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sometimes building a community takes a village… and sometimes it takes a really big truck! 😂

A generous donor recently wanted to repurpose a beautiful storage shed originally purchased from Sheds n Stuff in Cheshire to Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity. Our property that we’re building on located at the Prosperity Way community in Housatonic would definitely benefit from this donation. The only problem? We had to get that big shed from Pittsfield to its new home!

Enter George and his crew at Sheds n Stuff!

They showed up at the donor’s home in Pittsfield, loaded it up, and got it safely delivered to Prosperity Way — and they did the whole thing as a GIFT-IN-KIND! 🎉

A service like this would normally come with a significant price tag. Instead, George said, “We are happy to be a part of an amazing community and your program!”

That generosity means we can put more of our resources toward what really matters: building affordable homes and a thriving community for 20 local families.

George and the Sheds n Stuff crew — THANK YOU! You didn't just move a shed. You helped move Prosperity Way one step closer to home. 🏡

This is what happens when local businesses and neighbors come together: we build more than houses. We build community.

Here's a big shoutout to Greylock Storage for helping out our Construction Team with storage at our Prosperity Way build site in Housatonic!

With this construction site ramping up house-building activity on Phase 2 (7 more single-family homes!!) at this South County location, we were in need of ample storage and our longtime community partners at Greylock Storage stepped up AGAIN!

If you’re in need of storage solutions, check Greylock Storage on Downing Parkway ---https://buff.ly/jeLcdXD! Or try one of their other locations in North Adams, Schenectady, or Glens Falls.
