Our Case for Support

Together, we will create a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Did you know?

Habitat was founded in 1976 in Americus, Georgia.

President and Mrs. Carter became volunteers in 1984.

We don’t give houses away. Habitat homeowners help build their houses and pay an affordable mortgage or loan.

When families spend disproportionately on housing, they are forced to make impossible choices on other basic needs such as food, health care, transportation.

Our work today includes:

Habitat works alongside the families who partner with us.

Better, more affordable housing leads to stronger childhood development and creates the ability – and financial flexibility – for a family to make forward-looking choices.

Positive Impact on Communities and Society

We are built on a foundation of faith.

The idea that became Habitat first grew from the fertile soil of Koinonia Farm, a community farm outside of Americus, Georgia, founded by farmer and biblical scholar Clarence Jordan. Koinonia was established to serve as a “demonstration plot of the kingdom of God.”

While personal faith is not always the motivating factor for all Habitat volunteers, our mission has always been based on the idea that we serve God by serving others.
