About Us
|
Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people everywhere to develop communities with God's people in need by building and renovating houses so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which people can live and grow into all that God intended. The goal of Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate substandard housing and homelessness worldwide and to make affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action.
Using volunteer labor and tax deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat for Humanity builds and rehabilitates houses with the help of future homeowners, Habitat's™ partner families. Houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed through affordable, no-interest mortgages. Mortgages are issued over a fixed period, usually 20 years. Monthly mortgage payments are used to support the construction of more houses through a revolving Fund for Humanity.
The focus of Habitat's™ ministry is not only the construction of houses, but also the development and empowerment of people and communities. Through building houses, Habitat breaks down barriers and forms partnerships among people from all walks of life. It is often said that relationships actually are the most important thing Habitat builds. As people join efforts to accomplish one goal - a completed house - they learn to work together and begin to see what more might be achieved through unified efforts.
