Habitat For Humanity Australia

Our Vision

A world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live.

 

Our Mission

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.
