Welcome
HFH of Roosevelt and Curry County (New Mexico) is a locally run affiliate
of Habitat for Humanity International,
a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity
works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent,
affordable housing. The homes then are purchased by those in need at no
profit and with no interest charged. Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses. |

Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife Linda, and headquartered
in Americus, Ga. HFHI's work in the United States is accomplished
by affiliates. Habitat affiliates are independent, nonprofit [501(c)(3)]
organizations that are organized by local citizens and operate with local
boards and local volunteers. There are more 1,300 U.S. affiliates
spread among all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Hundreds
of thousands of volunteers provide most of the labor, and faithful individual
and corporate donors provide the money and materials to build Habitat houses.
Habitat's mission is to eliminate poverty housing from the earth. Habitat
has taken its vision of a world with no more shacks to 53 nations. To date,
HFHI has completed over 200,000 simple, decent, affordable houses around
the globe. |
