Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people in your local area and around the world, working together to build more prosperous and vibrant communities by making sure everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home.
Our Work:
Since our founding in 1976, Habitat has helped tens of millions of people build their life on their own terms through access to decent, affordable housingin all 50 states and 70 countries across the globe.
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.
Below are just a few examples of what we’ve achieved with support from donors and volunteers:
Together, we have rolled up our sleeves to help 62 million people and counting build or improve a place to call home, helping to make our communities more affordable.

Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people in your local area and around the world, working together to build more prosperous and vibrant communities by making sure everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home. We shape policies that increase access to affordable homes. In the U.S., our Cost of Home campaign helped change over 460 laws, unlock more than $23.6 billion in government funding and increase access to safe, affordable homes for 9.5 million people. Our work continues with the Habitat Voices in Action program.
We support people living in informal settlements to advocate for themselves and build resilience against climate change. In Liberia, we coordinated with government and civil society organizations to upgrade the homes of 400,000 residents of informal settlements, many of whom were impacted by flooding due to climate change.
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.
Together, we build homes, communities and hope. Join us in supporting these efforts.
