Mission Statement
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Houston Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.
About This Cause
Houston Habitat for Humanity’s mission work includes new home construction, home rehabilitation and repair, infrastructure development for new communities, neighborhood revitalization and community building in the city of Houston. Houston Habitat has built more than 1,050 homes in 11 Houston neighborhoods, including the Fifth Ward and northeast and southeast quadrants. A shortage of low-income single-family homes existed prior to Hurricane Harvey and with the loss of so many homes, the need has been exacerbated; therefore Houston Habitat continues to fill that gap. The organization has repaired countless other homes throughout Houston, principally repairing homes damaged by 2015, 2016 and 2017 floods. Since Hurricane Harvey in alone, Houston Habitat has repaired more than 550 homes for families who are without resources to make repairs. The magnitude of the Houston Habitat new home construction and repair of homes program depends on support from the public and the need only continues to grow. The stability of homeownership is transformative to partner families. “For most buyers, homeownership leads to wealth creation,” stated a report in the Journal of Hosing Studies. Homeownership provides financial stability as homeowners build wealth through home equity and invest their communities by paying property taxes. Recent data shows that 1 in 6 households in the U.S. are spending more than 50% of their income on a place to live. The Houston, Woodlands, Sugar Land Metropolitan area provides only 18 affordable units for every 100 households that are extremely low income. This is the third worst ratio of all U.S. metro areas. It is our goal to change these statistics in the city of Houston.
