Home is the foundation on which we build our lives and our communities.
Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people in your local area, and around the world, working together to build prosperous and healthy communities by making sure everyone has a decent, safe, affordable place to call home.
Since our founding in 1976, together we have helped tens of millions of people in countries around the world build their life on their own terms through access to safe, decent, affordable homes.
We’ve done that by working alongside them to build, repair and finance their homes, by innovating new ways of building and financing to make it easier for others to build, and by advocating for policies that make building and accessing housing easier for everyone.
Every safe, affordable home sparks wider change, leading to better health, education and well-being, more economic growth and less poverty. Peace of mind and the ability to focus on what matters most – it all starts with a home.
But we have so much more to do. 1 in 3 people on earth still don’t have a safe, affordable home.
Get involved. Together, we build homes, community and hope.
