| Habitat
for Humanity International (HFHI) is a nonprofit, ecumenical
Christian organization dedicated to eliminating substandard
housing and homelessness worldwide and to making adequate,
affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat
is founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child
should have a simple, decent, affordable place to live in
dignity and safety.
Since
1976, Habitat has built more than 125,000 houses in more than
80 countries, including some 45,000 houses across the United
States.
Habitat
has an open-door policy: all who desire to be a part of this
work are welcome, regardless of religious preference or
background. Habitat for Humanity has always had a policy of
building with people in need regardless of race or religion,
and we welcome volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds.
The
work of Habitat for Humanity is driven by the desire to give
tangible expression to the love of God through the work of
eliminating poverty housing. Habitat's mission and methods are
predominantly derived from a few key theological concepts: the
necessity of putting faith into action, the "economics of
Jesus" and the "theology of the hammer."
