Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity is an international, non-governmental, and nonprofit organization, which was founded in 1976 by Linda and Millard Fuller. Habitat for Humanity is a Christian nonprofit organization that helps families build and improve places to call home.

While helping families build homes of their own remains at the core of Kitsap Habitat’s work, their mission and principles have always included a broader concept of contributing to a more comprehensive community effort. Kitsap Habitat has shifted from the position as the hub, or primary actor, in a community’s housing efforts to acting as a spoke – one among many forces working toward holistic livelihood strategies. Their goal, however, remains the same: provide everyone a decent, affordable place to live while building up hope and community.
