Facts about Habitat for Humanity

Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built and rehabilitated more than 150,000 homes around the world
Habitat sells these homes at no profit to low-income partner families. Their no-interest mortgage payments help to support Habitat homes for additional partner families.
Partner families invest sweat equity by helping to build the homes they buy.
Families apply to be considered for Habitat homes and are chosen on the basis of need, ability to repay their no-interest mortgage, and willingness to become partners in the program.
Habitat International is overseen by an ecumenical, international volunteer board of directors. At the local level, Habitat is managed by independent volunteer boards.
Habitat is not a government organization but does work with local governments who often help to provide land and other resources.
