Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is a global, non-profit ministry where employees build futures and lives. Based in the state of Georgia, USA: Administrative (Atlanta), Operations (Americus). HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. To accomplish these goals, HFHI invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.
HFHI has built, renovated or rehabbed over 400,000 homes around the world, providing more than 1.5 million people in 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates homes with partner families. This is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor (sweat equity) into building their Habitat home. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with affordable loans. The homeowners’ mortgage payments are used to build more Habitat houses.
Donations, whether to a local Habitat affiliate or to HFHI, are used as designated by the donor. Gifts received by HFHI that are designated to a specific affiliate or building project are forwarded to that affiliate or project. Undesignated gifts and affiliate ReStore-generated funding are used where most needed and for administrative expenses.
