Habitat for Humanity
is a people to people partnership drawing together individuals
and communities to build decent, affordable housing. Habitat
for Humanity is committed to the development and uplifting
of people and communities, not only to the development
of housing. |

Habitat for Humanity
builds decent and affordable housing in partnership with
people who are living in inadequate housing and who are
unable to secure adequate housing by conventional means. Habitat
selects homeowner-partners based on their need for adequate
shelter; their ability to pay for the Habitat home; and
their willingness to partner with Habitat for Humanity. Habitat
does not discriminate in the selection of homeowner-partners
on the basis of race, creed, gender, disability, ethnic
background, or any other characteristic protected by law. |
| • |
Habitat for Humanity
sells all housing units to homeowner-partners with no profit
added by means of a zero interest loan. House payments
are used for the construction of additional affordable
housing. |

Habitat for Humanity
is a global movement comprised of Habitat for Humanity
International and national and local affiliated organizations
around the world. |

The need for
decent and affordable housing is a worldwide challenge,
and Habitat for Humanity is a global partnership response. Habitat
for Humanity commits to providing significant financial
support of house-building efforts in other countries through
participating in the affiliate tithe program. |
