About Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia
Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia is an independently chartered affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI), a nonprofit organization that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.
Locally, Habitat Philadelphia is on a mission to transform lives and our City by building quality homes in partnership with families in need, and uniting all Philadelphians around the cause of affordable housing.
As one of many affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International, Habitat Philadelphia is part of a worldwide network of Habitat affiliates all working towards the same goal: to eliminate poverty housing, and empower families all over the world.
In the Delaware Valley region, Habitat Philadelphia works in collaboration with: HFH Bucks County, HFH Camden, HFH Montgomery County, HFHChester County, HFH Delaware, and HFH Delaware Valley.
One of the founding principles of Habitat is this idea of parnership housing where hardworking families partner with dedicated volunteers to build homes, using materials and land bought or donated by caring individuals and organizations.
Habitat Philadelphia practices this model of partnership between families, volunteers, and donors to build decent, affordable housing locally because we believe this model offers a realistic solution to the affordable housing crisis here in Philadelphia.
