The mission statement of Habitat for Humanity is Seeking to put Godâs love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Homes are built using volunteer labor and Habitat makes no profit on the sales.
While some Habitat homeowners may receive public assistance, most have jobs. Habitat for Humanity works in good faith with people who are at risk financially, knowing that owning a home is not the answer to every problem, but can be an important step-often the first step-toward breaking the cycle of poverty.
