Beyond the Build
At Habitat for Humanity, we believe everyone has the right to a safe and decent place to live, and that it benefits all of society when they do.
That’s why we are looking beyond the build, to how decent housing transforms futures, strengthens communities, and fosters resiliency and stability that can transcend generations.
We envision a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live.
We foster and build equity through affordable housing, by fully integrating diversity and inclusion into everything we do. Every individual involved with Habitat feels safe and encouraged to bring their whole selves to our mission and they know they are valued, heard and respected.
