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.
