Houston Habitat for Humanity works by faith to change lives and empower families by building homes in partnership with God and people from all walks of life.

History:
Houston Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1987 and is a Christian-based housing ministry. Embracing all faiths, the organization is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing in our community by helping low-income families purchase a simple, decent home in which to live. To date, Houston Habitat has built over 750 affordable homes and served more than 3,000 people – half of whom are children. Based on annual home production, Houston Habitat is consistently listed in the top ten among the nearly 1,700 Habitat for Humanity affiliates in the United States.

For two decades, Houston Habitat has worked to eliminate substandard housing by helping our neighbors purchase simple, decent homes in which to live.

In addition to ongoing construction in partnership with generous sponsors, volunteers and dedicated homebuyers, Houston Habitat’s history includes landmark events and construction innovations.
