HABITAT HISTORY

Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller.  Habitat has built more than 200,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1 million people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter.  Habitat is a worldwide, grass-roots movement.  There are more than 3,000 active affiliates in over 100 countries, including all 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico.

OUR MISSION

Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all walks of life, to develop communities with people in need by building and renovating houses, so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which every person can experience God's love and can live and grow into all that God intends.

OUR GOAL

The ultimate goal of Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the face of the earth by constructing and building adequate and basic housing.  Furthermore, all our words and actions are for the ultimate purpose of putting shelter on the hearts and minds of people in such a powerful way that poverty housing and homelessness become socially, politically, and religiously unacceptable in our nations and world.
