Sweetgrass Preserve: A Neighborhood of HOPE

We are Sea Island Habitat for Humanity

Founded in 1978, Sea Island Habitat for Humanity is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization founded on the conviction that every person should have a place to live in dignity and safety, and that affordable shelter in safe communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all. 

We are proud to have build nearly 400 safe, permanent homes for families in Hollywood, Ravenel, and on James, Johns, and Wadmalaw Islands. 

But building is homes is just the beginning. 

Despite our success, we must do more. 

With you as our partner, we can help local families achieve the dream of homeownership in Sweetgrass Preserve. 

Your gift can make all the difference for 50 families who can have a safe, affordable home they own. You can help pace the way for children to walk through the door of a place where they can play and grow up safely. You can give these families keys to a brighter future and make dreams come true. 

Help Us Build a Neighborhood of Hope

Bringing a diverse neighborhood to life... 

  • One-, two-, and three- bedroom houses will meet the needs of diverse populations, including families with children, couples, and seniors. 
  • 50 homes designated as affordable housing for families who earn up to 80% of the area mean incomes (AMI). 

Who We Serve: The Backbone of Our Community

Affordable Housing (up to 80% AMI): Individuals who qualify for affordable housing are often those who work in our service and tourism industries. They work in restaurants, hotels, salons and spas, landscaping, retail, golf courses, and even at the beach. These workers are the backbone of our economy. 

With Your Gift You Will: 

  • Ensure more Johns Islands will be able to live where they work, reducing traffic and helping strengthen our community. 
  • Help put 50 hard working families on the path to prosperity. 
  • Move the needle on the affordable housing crisis in our own backyard. 
  • Make Johns Island a better place for everyone to live.
