Habitat for Humanity International

is a nonprofit, Christian housing ministry. Habitat for Humanity seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to provide decent shelter to families in need. Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.

Habitat has built more than 300,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1.5 million people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter. It was founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller.

You can volunteer with Habitat for Humanity locally, donate a monetary gift, be an advocate, get involved with a partnership, or attend building events.
