About Houston Habitat For Humanity
Houston Habitat for Humanity is part of a global nonprofit organization that is committed to its mission to put God’s Love into action by bringing people together to build homes, community, and hope. For the past 38 years Houston Habitat has partnered with families to overcome barriers to home ownership and address the shortage of affordable housing. Today, Houston Habitat is still committed to pursuing its vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Our charge is to help low-income Houstonians achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable home ownership. Through shelter, we empower people to build a better future for themselves and their families by completing financial and home maintenance training, building homes alongside volunteers, and by purchasing their homes with an affordable mortgage. Houston Habitat has fundamentally changed lives – building strength, stability, and self-reliance – right here in our community through new homeownership opportunities. Strong and stable families in self-sufficient homes create strong and stable communities.
