Founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity International is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian housing ministry that works with people of all backgrounds to build and repair simple and affordable houses. Since its inception, Habitat for Humanity has become a world leader in addressing poverty housing issues, having built or repaired more than 600,000 houses and served over 3 million people globally. With headquarters in Americus and Atlanta in Georgia, the organization envisions a world where every person has a decent place to live.
Operating across the world, Habitat for Humanity works with families in need of shelter, who are selected based on their level of need, willingness to become partners in the program, and ability to repay their loan. Homeowner partner families put hundreds of hours of their own labor into building their own house as well as those of others. Habitat houses are sold at no profit, and partner families' monthly mortgage payments are used to build even more homes.
