Let’s Build!
Our next PRIDE Build will begin August 2026! Our build sites are user-friendly and led by professionals who patiently train and guide volunteers through all phases of construction. You will come away from your build experience feeling empowered with new skills – knowing you brought a Habitat partner family one step closer to achieving their dream of homeownership.

Our Pride is Growing
At Habitat, we believe everyone deserves a decent place to live. In 2025, Richmond Habitat proudly continues the PRIDE Build, which began in 2023. In the last two years, the program has grown to be one of the largest LGBTQIA+ volunteer events in central Virginia. In that time, there were:
We invite members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies to help us build again. Habitat’s PRIDE Build focuses on our hope to create an inclusive Richmond community where every individual and family has the opportunity to obtain fair and equitable housing – and where LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies know they are welcome to volunteer and build our community.
In conducting a PRIDE Build, we join dozens of Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the U.S. who have added this program as a fun way for members and supporters of LGBTQ+ communities to come together to celebrate diversity in our region, learn new skills and make an important statement about the fundamental human right of a safe, decent, affordable place to live for everyone.
