Organization Profile: Habitat For Humanity

OUR VISION A world where everyone has a decent place to live. OUR MISSION Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. WHAT WE DO Habitat for Humanity of Evansville builds houses in partnership with people in need and then sells the houses to homeowner partners. Homeowners are selected based on their need for housing, ability to repay a zero-percent APR mortgage, and willingness to partner with Habitat. Because of Habitat’s no-profit loans, the homes are built on volunteer labor, and mortgage payments are affordable for low-income partners. WHERE WE WORK Habitat for Humanity of Evansville was founded in 1984 and continues to serve families in Vanderburgh and Posey Counties in Indiana. Through a tithing program, Habitat for Humanity of Evansville also funds the building of homes in Jordan and Haiti.
