Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit,
nondenominational Christian housing organization
that works to eliminate substandard housing around
the world. The organization builds simple, decent,
affordable houses in partnership with those in need
of adequate shelter.
Since 1976, Habitat has built more than 125,000 houses in 87 countries, including
some 45,000 houses across the United States. Habitat homes are purchased by the
homeowner families. Three factors make Habitat homes affordable to low-income
families worldwide:
• Houses are sold at no profit, with no interest
charged on the mortgage.
• Homeowners and volunteers build the houses
under trained supervision.
• Individuals, corporations, faith groups and others provide financial
support. |

Habitat for Humanity is building in more than 3,000
towns, cities, and villages in 87 countries worldwide.
Local Habitat affiliates coordinate house building
and select partner families.
Homeowner families are chosen according to their need; their ability to repay
the no-profit, no-interest mortgage; and their willingness to work in partnership
with Habitat.
Habitat for Humanity does not discriminate according to race, religion or ethnic
group.
