2026 BBB Festival

Welcome to Habitat for Humanity DeKalb

We’re so glad you’re here.

At Habitat DeKalb, we believe everyone deserves a safe, healthy place to call home. As a nonprofit organization, we focus on providing critical home repairs for seniors and veterans right here in DeKalb County, GA—helping protect their health, safety, and dignity.

Our work is rooted in our mission: to put God’s love into action by serving those whom He served. With a small staff, a dedicated Executive Director, a volunteer Board of Directors, and the support of countless volunteers, we’re building more than homes—we’re building hope.

Apply for Homestead Exemptions by April 1, 2026

Don’t sleep on your homestead exemption. It can reduce the taxable value of your primary residence and lower your property taxes—no extra effort, just a smart move. If you live in and own your home, it’s worth checking your eligibility and filing early. In other words: claim what’s yours and keep more money in your pocket.
