Habitat for Humanity InternationalHabitat for Humanity InternationalHabitat for Humanity International
Founded by Millard and Linda Fuller in 1976, Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is an ecumenical, Christian, non-profit affordable housing provider. Habitat’s mission is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness by building ―simple, decent, affordable‖ homes in partnership with people in need. The larg-est non-profit home builder in the United States, HFHI has constructed over 500,000 homes throughout the world, housing more than 2 million people.
Habitat for Humanity in South CountyHabitat for Humanity in South CountyHabitat for Humanity in South County
South County Habitat for Humanity is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Christian organiza-tion and relies on financial and volunteer support from businesses, churches, foundations, and individuals to operate. Unless otherwise specified, all donations received are dedicated to building materials and construction related expenses.
Our goal is to help people who live in substandard housing or who cannot find affordable shelter achieve the dream of homeownership. We accomplish this by building new homes or renovating existing dwellings by making them energy effi-cient and affordable to own. Homeowners are selected on a basis that they have need for housing, demonstrate the ability to make timely mortgage payments while also falling within HUD income limits, and agree to contribute ―sweat eq-uity‖ hours towards construction of their home. All Habitat homes are sold with-out profit and mortgages are issued on a no-interest basis.
