2019 Impact Report

Here's to another year building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter! Check out our annual Impact Report available online now!

We partner with families to build or improve a place to call home

People in Philadelphia and all over the world partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.
