Habitat for Humanity is an International Christian not-for-profit organization that works in partnership with people of good will and families in need, to eliminate inadequate housing by building and/or renovating and selling simple, decent homes that have affordable repayments to selected families who cannot secure a loan or mortgage by normal means.
The organisation was founded in the USA in 1976, Habitat for Humanity New Zealand was established in 1992, and the Hawke’s Bay affiliate began operating in 1996 and has recently amalgamated with Waikato and Gisborne to form the new Habitat for Humanity Central North Island affiliate.
