Ulster County Habitat for Humanity

Mission Statement

Habitat for Humanity International, Inc. (Habitat) is an ecumenical Christian not-for-profit organization whose purposes are to partner with Habitat programs worldwide in building decent, affordable housing, and to associate with other organizations that have a kindred purpose. Habitat's goal is to eliminate poverty housing everywhere and to put shelter on the hearts and minds of people in such a powerful way that poverty housing and homelessness become socially, politically, and religiously unacceptable. Habitat is comprised of the organization's headquarters based in Americus, Georgia, U.S.A.; its area and regional offices worldwide; and the national organizations that are registered as branches of Habitat. Habitat's mission is fulfilled primarily through the efforts of affiliates working in more than 3,000 communities in approximately 90 countries around the globe.
