Habitat for Humanity International

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit housing organization founded in 1976 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. It works with families, volunteers, donors and local partners to build and repair homes, offering affordable homeownership and improved living conditions to people in need. The organization operates through a network of local affiliates across all 50 U.S. states and in roughly 70 countries worldwide, and describes itself as guided by Christian principles while serving people of all backgrounds. Beyond direct construction, Habitat pursues its work through homeowner sweat-equity partnerships, affordable mortgage financing, disaster response, neighborhood revitalization, and advocacy for policies that expand access to housing. It also runs Habitat ReStore outlets that resell donated goods to fund its programs. The group frames access to safe, affordable housing as a foundation for broader outcomes such as better health, education and economic stability, and reports having helped tens of millions of people globally.
