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.
