At South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity, we believe everyone deserves a safe, decent, and affordable place to live. We offer free classes to help community members prepare for homeownership.

Classes are offered on a rotating basis. Visit our Eventbrite page to sign up.

All Things Credit Reports & Debt

This class includes a walkthrough of traditional credit reports and which parts are the most important to lenders. Learn tips how to fix anything that shouldn’t be there. We will also discuss debt and how it affects your debt-to-income ratio—what is that anyway?

Financial Wellbeing

Our Financial Wellbeing course explores where you get your financial messaging from, what tools would work best for you, and the next steps you can take to help with your finances. You will also have an awareness project to take home.

Budgeting & Resources

Eager to keep your spending in check? Want to learn techniques to keep on track for future purchases? Don’t know where your money is going every month? Or do you feel you just can’t keep up on bills? Learn a handful of budget processes, simple debt management strategies, in addition to asking yourself questions when creating a budget that fits your life.

Habitat’s Critical Home Repair program provides stability for homeowners by preserving older homes for safer, easier maintenance.

Thankfully, Habitat is not alone in this work. Other agencies in Thurston County provide free home repairs:

  • Rebuilding Together Thurston County
  • Community Action Council of Lewis, Mason, and Thurston counties

Habitat supports homeowners in their efforts to maintain safe, healthy homes and to contribute to the well-being and vitality of their neighborhoods.

South Puget Sound Habitat Stores sell new and gently used donated goods at a discount. Frequent markdowns, sales, and specials help you stick to your budget. We have two stores – West Olympia and Yelm – as well as an online store.

Proceeds help fund the construction and repair of homes and neighborhood revitalization in Thurston County. Shopping at our stores is a win for you, a win for Habitat homeowners, and a win for our community.
