Our Purpose

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami is a Christian ministry that transforms lives and
communities by providing low-income families with affordable homeownership
opportunities.

Our Strategy

We build and renovate decent homes, which families purchase at cost and with a 0% interest loan.

We engage people of conscience within our community by providing volunteer and financial
support opportunities to accomplish the building of homes and communities in partnership
with low-income families.

Our Principles

• We follow Biblical teachings in our attitudes and actions.

• We build bridges among all economic and ethnic segments of our community by
  establishing new relationships, a sense of community, and a renewed commitment
  to “the common good.”

• We welcome participation from all individuals, groups, or organizations who desire
  to join with Miami Habitat and who share our concern and compassion for those in
  need.

• We are a financially responsible non-profit ministry that raises money from those
  who share our vision and to spend the money raised with integrity, community
  accountability, and for the specific purpose intended by the donors.

• We select families for home ownership based on their need, willingness to be a full
  partner in the Habitat program, and ability to repay the interest-free loan in support
  of the Habitat ministry. Selection is made without consideration of race, sex, color,
  creed, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation or any other legally protected
  status.

• We maintain a mutually beneficial, nurturing friendship with each family through ongoing
  contact and by providing instruction in the areas of budgeting, financial planning, home
  maintenance, and other practicalities of homeownership.

• We support the work of Habitat ministries in other communities as our resources allow, by
  contributing a tithe (10%) of undesignated financial contributions.
