Habitat for Humanity is a faith-based 501(c) 3 non-profit organization whose mission is to work with family partners, sponsors and communities to build affordable, green, quality, energy-efficient homes and to provide support services that promote successful home purchase and ownership.

As one of 1,600 local affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International, LaPorte County Habitat works to bring together working families, volunteers, donors and other interested individuals and organizations. This community-based collaboration results in positive and dramatic effects on families and neighborhoods.

Habitat for Humanity constructs quality houses that are sold to homebuyer families through no-profit, no-interest loans. Homebuyers complete 500 sweat-equity hours and other requirements, pay for their homes and all upkeep, and maintain current payments on their properties.
