About Habitat for Humanity International

    Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry that both to eliminate poverty housing around the world and to make adequate housing a matter of conscience and action.

    Local Habitat for Humanity affiliates build and renovate houses in partnership with people in need, and then sell the houses to the homeowner partners.  Homeowners are selected by local affiliates based on their need for housing, ability to repay a no-profit mortgage and willingness to partner with Habitat.  Mortgage payments contribute to a Fund for Humanity, which in turn provides the money to build more houses. Because of Habitat’s no-profit loans and because the houses are principally built with volunteer labor, mortgage payments are affordable for low-income partners.

  The organization started in the United States in 1976, but today its work reaches around the world. Currently, more than 2,300 affiliates are at work in all 50  states of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Territory of Guam, and 99 other countries.
