About Habitat For Humanity Philadelphia
Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia is an independently chartered affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI), the largest nonprofit homebuilder worldwide.
Locally, their mission is to transform lives and our city by building and repairing homes in partnership with families in need, and uniting all Philadelphians around the cause of affordable housing. Their vision is a city where all Philadelphians live in safe, affordable homes.
This year, ‘home’ has taken on a whole new meaning. As people throughout the region continue to work and learn from home, the importance of a warm, safe, and dry home has never been more apparent. While nobody could have prepared for this pandemic, Habitat Homeowners have a safe place to call home at a time when home makes all the difference.
