Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit worldwide ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. HFHI was established in 1976 in Americus, Georgia. By September of 2000, HFHI had built the 100,000th house.

Our affiliate has constructed thirteen homes. Two of the homes were built to be completely handicap accessible for partnering family members with severe disabilities. Thus far, we have built one home each year from 1995 through 1998. In 1999 and 2000, we built two homes each year. In 2002, we completed three homes within our Affiliate service area. 2003 will celebrate the completion of two homes bringing the total to thirteen. 

In 2004 we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary as we build in Willow River and Mora. Habitat homes are sold to those in need at no profit, through no-interest loans.

We operate through our Volunteer Board of Directors, Volunteer Committees, and Executive Director. The committees are: Family Selection, Site Selection, Building, Family Support, Church Relations, Fund Raising/Public Relations and Volunteer Recruitment.
