Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County

OUR MISSION: Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.

OUR VISION: A world where everyone has a decent place to live.

FAITH PRINCIPLES:

• The Tithe - Habitat continues the cycle of sharing in accordance with the Old Testament model of tithing. Each Habitat affiliate gives a 10% tithe on the money raised locally to help build homes in severely impoverished countries. Global mission trips for Apostle Build Churches are available.
• Putting faith into action - Habitat provides a tangible opportunity for people to put their faith and love into action. We bring diverse groups of people together to make affordable housing and better communities a reality for everyone.
• Sharing resources to help others - By sharing rersources with those in need Habitat volunteers and supporters have made decent, affordable housing a reality for more than 300,000 families worldwide. Partner families purchase their homes interest free, and mortgage income is "paid forward" to help build other Habitat homes.
• The theology of the hammer - Through Habitat, people of all beliefs and from all walks of life can come together, pick up a hammer and help other build a better life.

ALL ARE WELCOME:

Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County has an open-door policy: All who believe that everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live are welcome to help with the work, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, political views or any of the other distinctions that too often divide people. In short, Habitat welcomes volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds and also serves people in need of decent housing regardless of race or religion. As a matter of policy, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations do not proselytize. This means that Habitat will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith, or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
