Learn about our work, mission, history and leadership.
Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in approximately 70 countries. Habitat’s vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Together, we build innovative housing solutions
Every safe, affordable home sparks wider change, leading to better health, education and well-being, more economic growth and less poverty. Peace of mind and the ability to focus on what matters most – it all starts with a home.
But we have so much more to do. One in three people on earth still don’t have a safe, affordable home.
Get involved. Together, we build homes, community and hope.
One Mission. 50 Years. 65+ Million Lives.
By partnering with Habitat, families and communities transform their lives with the incredible effects of safe and affordable shelter, including improvements in health, safety, child development, economic opportunity and educational achievement.
