Organization Description

 

 

  Our Mission

  Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles builds and renovates homes in partnership with people everywhere with a goal of eliminating substandard housing by making decent, affordable housing a matter of conscience and action in our communities.

 

 How does it work?

  Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no interest loans. The homeowners’ monthly mortgage payments are used to build even more Habitat houses. Habitat for Humanity provides a hand-up, not a hand-out. In addition to a down payment and the monthly mortgage payments, partner families invest hundreds of hours of their own labor – called sweat equity – into building their Habitat house and the houses of others.
