"Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit ecumenical Christian housing ministry. HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housinh and homelessness from the World, and to make decent shelter amatter of conscience and action.

Habitat has built more than 175,000 houses around the world, providing more than 750,000 people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decente, affordable shelter. HFHI was founded in 1976 by MIlard Fuller along with his wife LInda.

Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner ( partner) families.

Habitat houses are sold to partnerfamilies at no profit, financed with affodable, no-interest loans.

The homeowners monthly mortgage paymentes are used to buld still more habitat houses.

Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and the monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor-sweat equity-into buliding their Habitat House and the houeses of others."
