Our Programs
Building strength and stability through exterior preservation
At Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Salt Lake Area, we believe everyone deserves a decent place to live. Through Habitat’s Service Team for Exterior Projects (S.T.E.P.), we bring people together to help our neighbors manage essential exterior maintenance. By mobilizing community volunteers, we partner with homeowners to ensure their homes remain safe and stable foundations for their families.
partnering for impact
service area: Salt Lake, Davis and Tooele counties
Habitat homeowners partner with us to build self-reliance. To be eligible for S.T.E.P., homeowners must meet low-to-moderate income guidelines, be U.S. citizens or legal residents, and face physical or situational challenges—such as disability or age—that prevent them from completing these projects independently.
help a neighbor build a better life
Whether you need assistance or want to recommend a neighbor, your voice helps bring independence to families in our community.
S.T.E.P. in action: a foundation of hope for ruby
In October 2024, our volunteers partnered with Ruby, a local senior, to restore her home’s exterior. Over two days of hard work, the team cleared 50 large branches and filled 24 eighty-gallon bags with yard waste. This project provided more than just a clean yard—it provided the stability and peace of mind Ruby needs to thrive in the home she loves.
