Habitat for Humanity of Genesee County, NY

The Genesee County affiliate has been active since 1999. We are currently working on our 9th home, located at 11 Raymond Avenue in the City of Batavia. We will break ground on our 10th home, located at 104 North Street, on May 12, 2012.

To date, we have built new homes and rehabs in Pavilion, Alexander, and Batavia. Just like all the other Habitat affiliates around the world, we in Genesee County thrive on the dedication and support of our volunteers.

Growth in the future

In addition to building homes with partner families, we are building a new home for Habitat. Located at 230 Ellicott Street in Batavia, the Habitat Center will soon become the home to both the affiliate main office and the ReStore. In September 2010, Chuck Brumsted donated the property to us. To many people, the building is remembered as Cristina’s Italian Bistro which was partially destroyed by a fire in 2008. Currently, we have obtained a building permit and the renovation project has begun.
