What Habitat does is much more than just sheltering people. Itโs what it does for people on the inside. Itโs that intangible quality of hope. Many people without decent housing consider themselves lifeโs losers. This is the first victory they may have ever had. And it changes them. We see Habitat homeowners go back to school and get their GEDs, enter college, do all kinds of things they never believed they could do before they moved into their house. By their own initiative, through their own pride and hope, they change.

Millard FullerOur mandate in Habitat for Humanity is to work diligently to help bring into being graceful communities, towns, and cities. his is so important because the alternative is disgraceful. We must begin to think like this. If we do, we will increasingly see transformations in our communities.
Millard FullerI see life as both a gift and a responsibility. My responsibility is to use what God has given me to help His people in need.
Millard FullerChurches are the primary partners that work with Habitat in an almost infinite variety of creative overlapping circles. We cherish these partnerships with churchesโฆI have always seen Habitat for Humanity as a servant of the church and as a vehicle through which the church and its people can express their love, faith, and servanthood to people in need in a very tangible and concrete (literally!) way.
