Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia, a not-for-profit homeownership ministry dedicated to rebuilding communities and lives in Philadelphia.

Description:
Habitat Philadelphia is an independently chartered affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, which developed our model of partnership housing. We don't build houses for needy families, we build houses with them. They put in 350 hours of work on the construction site alongside thousands of volunteers. Volunteers are one part of what makes the houses we build affordable. The other part is a zero-interest mortgage that allows homeowners to pay back the cost of their house through monthly payments that they can afford.

History:
Habitat Philadelphia formed in March 2003 through the merger of four independent city affiliates. Before the merger, those affiliates had completed a total of 106 houses over 15 years.
