Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve to have a decent life. We deserve to feel strength and stability day after day. We deserve to know we have the power to take care of ourselves and build our own futures.
At Habitat, this is what unites us. Through shelter, we empower. Our shared vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
People in your community and all over the world partner with Habitat to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, those homeowners achieve the independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.
Since 1976, Habitat has helped more than 46 million people improve their living conditions. Habitat for Humanity partners with families in the United States to increase access to affordable housing. We also lead advocacy efforts to impact local and federal housing policy.
Families partner with their local Habitat affiliates to build or improve their homes and revitalize their communities. Habitat affiliates work in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Each Habitat affiliate is an independent, locally managed organization which coordinates local construction and selects partner families without regard to race, religion or ethnic group.
Local Habitats offer many opportunities to volunteer at builds, at Habitat ReStore home improvement outlets, and to advocate for local housing policies. Use the zip code search below to find your nearest opportunities.
