We Build Decent and Affordable Housing

Our Philosophy
The goal of Habitat is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the face of the earth by working in partnership with God's people in need.  Using volunteer labor and donated funds and materials, Habitat builds or rehabilitates simple, decent houses and sells them to low-income families at cost with no interest added.

Partnership Families:
This people-people partnership begins with the homeowner families (partner families).  Habitat is not a giveaway program, but a joint venture in which those who benefit from the housing ministry are involved in the work at various levels.  They help with the construction of their own houses, as well as the houses of their neighbors.

Volunteers:
Volunteerism is an important part of this partnership.  Hundreds of volunteers provide much of the skill and labor needed for Habitat's work.

Inclusive Ministry:
In this spirit of partnership, Habitat strives to be an inclusive organization, encouraging people from a broad spectrum of social, ethnic, and economic backgrounds and from a wide diversity of religious experiences to work together.
