Habitat for Humanity of Oakland County

Description

Mission principles:

• Demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ.
  We undertake our work to demonstrate the love and teachings of Jesus, acting in all ways in accord with the belief that God’s love and grace abound for all, and that we must be "hands and feet" of that love and grace in our world.
• Focus on shelter.
  We create opportunities for all people to live in safe, decent, affordable homes. We partner with others to help build, renovate or preserve homes, with the hope to accelerate and broaden access to affordable housing and break the cycle of poverty.
• Advocate for affordable housing.
  We promote decent, affordable housing for all, and we support the global community’s commitment to housing as a basic human right. We advocate for just and fair housing policy to eliminate the constraints that contribute to poverty housing.
• Promote dignity and hope.
  We believe that no one lives in dignity until everyone can live in dignity. We believe that every person has something to contribute and something to gain from creating communities in which all people have decent, affordable places to live.
• Support sustainable and transformational development.
  We view our work as successful when it transforms lives and promotes positive and lasting social, economic and spiritual change within a community.
