Our charge is to help low-income Houstonians achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable home ownership. Through shelter, we empower people to build a better future for themselves and their families by completing financial and home maintenance training, building homes alongside volunteers, and by purchasing their homes with an affordable mortgage. Houston Habitat has fundamentally changed lives - building strength, stability, and self-reliance - right here in our community through new homeownership opportunities. Strong and stable families in self - sufficient homes create strong and stable communities. Houston Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to eliminate substandard housing in the city of Houston by helping low to moderate income families or individuals to earn a simple, decent home in which to live and raise their children.
