Mission Statement
Mission Statement: Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.
About This Cause
Habitat for Humanity of Wake County builds energy-efficient, affordable houses for qualified homebuyers regardless of race, religion, or background. Each Habitat home is built in partnership with homeowner families, sponsors, and volunteers. Our houses are sold for no profit to the partner family who then repays an affordable mortgage. Before they can close on their Habitat Wake homes, partner families must attend 40 hours of classes focused on financial literacy and home maintenance, so they are well-prepared to be homeowners. Changing a plot of dirt into a house is dramatic, but the real change is what happens when a family transitions out of poverty housing. At Habitat for Humanity, our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Affordable homeownership makes new opportunities available to these families and their children, including savings, a sense of security, space to grow, and good neighbors. Habitat Wake is an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical housing ministry. Mission Vision: A world where everyone has a decent place to live. Mission Principles: 1. Demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ. We undertake our work to demonstrate the love and teachings of Jesus, acting in all ways in accord with the belief that God’s love and grace abound for all, and that we must be “hands and feet” of that love and grace in our world . We believe that, through faith, the miniscule can be multiplied to accomplish the magnificent, and that, in faith, respectful relationships can grow among all people. 2. Focus on shelter. We have chosen, as our means of manifesting God’s love, to create opportunities for all people to live in decent, durable shelter . We put faith into action by helping to build, renovate or preserve homes, and by partnering with others to accelerate and broaden access to affordable housing as a foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty. 3. Advocate for affordable housing. In response to the prophet Micah’s call to do justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God, we promote decent, affordable housing for all, and we support the global community’s commitment to housing as a basic human right . We will advocate for just and fair housing policy to eliminate the constraints that contribute to poverty housing . And, in all of our work, we will seek to put shelter on hearts and minds in such powerful ways that poverty housing becomes socially, politically and religiously unacceptable. 4. Promote Dignity and Hope. We believe that no one lives in dignity until everyone lives in dignity. We believe that every person has something to contribute and something to gain from creating communities in which all people have decent, affordable places to live. We believe that dignity and hope are best achieved through equitable, accountable partnerships. 5. Support sustainable and transformational development We view our work as successful when it transforms lives and promotes positive and lasting social, economic and spiritual change within a community; when it is based on mutual trust and fully shared accomplishments; and when it demonstrates responsible stewardship of all resources entrusted to us. Non-proselytizing policy: Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations (HFH) will not proselytize. Nor will HFH work with entities or individuals who insist on proselytizing as part of their work with HFH. This means that HFH will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must (i) adhere to or convert to a particular faith or (ii) listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith. Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is a non-profit, ecumenical, grassroots Christian ministry which builds simple, decent, and affordable houses in partnership with families in need, donors and volunteers. Since its founding in 1976 by Millard & Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity has helped build more than 500,000 homes and served more than 2,000,000 people in over 3,000 communities around the world.
