Home construction is at the heart of what we do. 

Habitat for Humanity houses around the world are built according to the same guiding principles:

Simple. Habitat houses are modestly-sized. They are large enough for the family's needs, but small enough to keep maintenance costs to a minimum.

Decent.
Habitat for Humanity uses quality, locally-available building materials. Habitat house designs reflect the local climate and culture.

Affordable.
The labor of volunteers and partner families, efficient building methods, modest house sizes and no-profit loans make it affordable for low-income families to purchase Habitat houses.
