Mobilize volunteers and partners in providing opportunities for families to achieve affordable and sustainable homeownership as a means of breaking the cycle of poverty and strengthening communities.
Values
There are seven core values that guides our mission and work: Housing for All, Human Dignity, Strengthening Communities, Family Engagement, Partnership, Inclusion, Accountability
Habitat Model
Habitat for Humanity operates within the housing continuum, providing affordable homes to individuals and families who would not otherwise qualify for traditional mortgages. As a non-profit home builder, Habitat's goal is to help individuals achieve independence and stability through homeownership and equity building.
To help fund the cost of operations and our build program, Habitat affiliates operate social enterprise stores called ReStore, which sell donated new and gently used building materials, tools, appliances, furniture, home décor and more.
