The vision of all Habitat for Humanity affiliates around the world is "a world where everyone has a decent place to live." Habitat for Humanity's role in realizing that vision is expressed in its mission: "Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope." Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County (Habitat SKC) builds strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter – moving families out of vulnerable housing into homeownership, providing the opportunity for families to build equity and transition to the middle class. Through our proven model of creating and supporting homeownership for low-income households, Habitat SKC prepares families and communities for financial success and stability through programs that help individuals purchase, preserve, and stay in affordable homes.
