Habitat is a non-profit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing. Habitat works in partnership with low-income families to build simple, decent houses that are then sold to the families through no-interest mortgage loans.

Building materials, funds, and labor are donated by businesses, religious and civil groups, as well as individuals.
