Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit ecumenical Christian housing ministry, works in partnership with people in need to improve the conditions in which they live. Habitat partners are at work in all 50 states, and over 40 nations worldwide.

    Habitat challenges people of compassion to provide the initial funding, through donations of money and materials, to build or renovate simple, decent houses for the inadequately sheltered. Houses are sold at no profit, with no-interest mortgages repaid over a 15 to 25 year period. House payments are then recycled to help build more houses.
