About Habitat for Humanity: Founded in 1976 with the belief that everyone deserves a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began as a grassroots initiative on a community farm in southern Georgia. Since then, it has grown into a global nonprofit organization, actively supporting local communities across all 50 U.S. states and over 70 countries worldwide. Families and individuals in need collaborate with Habitat for Humanity to either build or improve a home they can call their own.
