About Us

Through volunteer labor and tax-deductible monetary donations and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates homes with the help of the homeowner. Habitat houses are sold to families at no-profit, and financed with an affordable mortgage. The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments are recycled into a revolving fund called the Fund for Humanity that helps fund future Habitat homes.

Habitat for Humanity is a worldwide, grassroots movement started in 1976. Concerned citizens from all walks of life come together as volunteers and staff to form a Habitat affiliate in their community. Fundraising, house construction, family selection and other key decisions are carried out by the local affiliates. Evergreen Habitat for Humanity started in Clark County, WA in 1991.

Habitat for Humanity International headquarters is located in Americus, Georgia. Habitat International provides information, training, support and other services to Habitat affiliates worldwide.
