Serving together in ministry
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat invites people of all faiths to join its mission to build and renovate simple, decent, affordable houses.

Putting faith into action
Habitat for Humanity is about tearing down walls and building bridges. It is about bringing hope and transforming lives. It is about serving God by serving others.

The vision of Habitat is that all people will have a safe, decent place in which to live. Trust in God propels this movement forward and helps bring hope into the lives of homeowners, volunteers and even bystanders.
