Honolulu Habitat for Humanity
Honolulu Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities and hope. Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.

THREE CORE TENETS OF BEING A PARTNER FAMILY
1. NEED
Family is living in inadequate housing and don’t have access to the financial resources to buy a home without our programs.
2. FINANCIAL STABILITY
Family has a stable income, either from employment or other legitimate sources, who have an acceptable credit history and who don’t have excessive debt. Habitat families have incomes that are between 30% and 60% of the median income figures for the Honolulu area, adjusted for family size. Please see below for a chart of our income levels.
3. WILLINGNESS TO PARTNER
Partner Families work right along our staff and volunteers to build their home. Sweat equity hours provided before and during after your home construction is the foundation of our partnership!
