Our purpose

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

Our strategy

We build and renovate decent homes and finance the cost with 0% interest loans.

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 witness to the Word of God and the love of Jesus Christ for all persons through our words and actions.

• 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.
