Habitat for Humanity
www.habitat.org
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical
Christian housing ministry. HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing
and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter
of conscience and action.
Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build still more Habitat houses.
Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and the monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor -- sweat equity -- into building their Habitat house and the houses of others.
