Vision Statement
A world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live.
Mission Statement
To demonstrate God’s love in action by mobilising partner families, volunteers and partners to provide appropriate housing solutions in sustainable communities.
Core Principles
1. Demonstrate Christian faith in action.
We believe that faith is lived through action. Building on our Christian foundation, we serve and work with people of all faiths and beliefs in a spirit of justice and compassion.
2. Advocate on behalf of those in need of decent shelter.
We believe that people living in substandard shelter is socially, morally and spiritually unacceptable. It is incumbent upon us to put decent shelter on the hearts and minds of everyone.
3. Focus on shelter by building and renovating, simple, decent affordable houses.
We believe that access to safe, decent and affordable housing is a basic human right and should be available to all.
4. Engage broad community through inclusive leadership and diverse partnerships.
We believe there is a role for everyone committed to our vision, mission and values and we seek to enrich our organisation through diversity. We can best achieve our mission through meaningful and mutually-beneficial partnerships with others.
5. Promote dignity through full partnership with Habitat homeowners and future home partners.
We believe in the worth and dignity of every human being. We respect the people we serve and those that help us in this effort and recognise them as our greatest resource.
6. Promote transformational and sustainable community development.
We believe that promoting sustainable community development outcomes transforms the lives of those in need of decent homes and the hearts and minds of everyone along the way.
“Habitat for Humanity made our dream of owning our own home a reality. Habitat is for us a ray of sunshine, in what can so often be a society harsh and intolerant of the less fortunate among us. Habitat does not just talk about housing problems, it tackles them head on, with incredibly positive results." —Habitat Home Partner, Victoria
