Home is the foundation on which we build our lives and our communities.
our story
Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people in our local area and around the world, working together to build more prosperous and vibrant communities by making sure everyone has a decent, safe, affordable place to call home.
Since our founding in 1976, together we have helped tens of millions of people in countries around the world build their life on their own terms through access to decent, affordable housing.
We’ve done that by working alongside them to build, repair and finance their homes, by innovating new ways of building and financing to make it easier for others to build, and by advocating for policies that make building and accessing housing easier for everyone.
We believe everyone deserves a safe
and decent place to live.
Every safe, affordable home sparks wider change, leading to better health, education and well-being, more economic growth and less poverty. Peace of mind and the ability to focus on what matters most — it all starts with a home.
Together, we build opportunity
We build alongside families in Australia and overseas, creating safe, affordable homes together. By partnering with communities and strengthening housing systems, we help remove barriers so that more families can access the security, independence and opportunity that a decent home provides.
Together, we build thriving communities
We build more than homes, we build opportunity and stronger communities. Alongside families, we help improve water and sanitation, support health and education initiatives, and create pathways to financial independence and livelihoods. Every safe, affordable home sparks wider change, leading to generational impact that communities can carry forward
our strategic plan
Our goal is to triple our impact and scale our work by 2027. Discover how we’re building together to expand access to safe, affordable homes in Australia and around the world — and how you can join us. Together, we create the opportunity for thousands of families to build stability, independence and brighter futures.
