Heartland Habitat Celebrates 25 Years of Fulfilling Dreams for Local Families
In 1987, A.C. Cuppy approached the city council of Kansas City, Kansas with a vision: to start a Habitat for Humanity affiliate. Twenty-five years later, his vision is stronger and more alive than ever. With the help of local volunteers, donors and funders, Heartland Habitat has built or rehabbed over 240 homes for local families in need of safe, decent and affordable housing.
In 2012, as Heartland Habitat celebrates its 25th anniversary, the organization will embark upon projects that will help define the organization's next 25 years. These milestone projects include:
You Can Help Lay the Foundation for Families in Need of Decent, Affordable Housing
Ten years ago, Sharon Turner read a portion of Isaiah 44:28, which reads, "...Thy foundation shall be laid."

It was only through perseverance and faith that she found her way to Heartland Habitat.
