Strategic Planning
Thanks to a grant from VA Housing, Hanover and King William Habitat for Humanity has begun a new strategic planning process with the help of a local consulting firm, The Spark Mill. We desire to reflect our community's needs and wishes in our planning process and The Spark Mill will send an online survey in the upcoming month to gather your feedback. Please be on the lookout for the survey to share your thoughts to help guide our future.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance

Their work ensures that tax returns are accurate and everyone receives their full refund and avoids unclaimed tax credits, fees for tax preparation services, and refund anticipation loans.
