About Habitat
Thinking globally and acting locally!
Our work is a perfect example of thinking globally and acting locally. We strive to make safe, decent, affordable housing a matter of conscience and action for all members of our community. We seek to create homeownership opportunities and lasting financial security for low-income families in Bennington County.
Habitat for Humanity International is a non-profit Christian housing ministry that works to eliminate poverty housing around the world and to make adequate housing a matter of conscience and action. Habitat has over 2,300 affiliates in all 50 states, and in Canada, Australia, and in 90 countries throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Habitat welcomes family partners of any faith - or from no faith - who are willing to pick up a hammer to help improve the lives of families needing decent shelter.
What we do
Habitat organizations build, renovate and repair houses in partnership with people in need of adequate housing. Homeowners are selected locally by Habitat organizations based on their need for housing, ability to pay a no-profit loan and willingness to partner with Habitat. Loan repayments contribute to help build and repair additional houses. Because Habitat's loans are no-profit, they are affordable for low-income partners.
