Habitat for Humanity Builds 400,000th Home

Habitat for Humanity is one of the nation's largest builders.  Founded in 1976, it has served more than 2 million people worldwide.

"In 2005 we celebrated our 200,000th house. Now, five years later, we have more than doubled that number thanks to the generous support of our volunteers and sponsors,” says CEO Jonathan Reckford.  Habitat and its homeowners, volunteers and partners build so much more than houses for these families, however. They build community, friendships, health, tolerance, construction skills, and financial literacy.

A copy of Habitat for Humanity International's fiscal year 2010 annual report, "What We Build," is now available on the group's Web site. The report gives a snapshot of Habitat's work around the world.

The organization seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.  To accomplish these goals, they invite people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.
