Habitat on the Local Level
Affiliate Testimonies
“I’ve participated in many strategic planning programs, this (led by Amy Ledbetter Parham) was one of the best.”
“It was great getting to connect with other Habitat Leaders and relax too.” (About the Leader Retreat 2017)
“The leader retreats are probably the most encouraging, inspirational events I have attended with Habitat. I learned that everyone pretty much felt like they were drinking out of a fire hose at first, and occasionally since then. This is the perfect event for new leaders, or for those who have been here a while but still have questions about best practices. And after all, who among us doesn’t.”
“Great webinar [International’s Required Training for MLOs]! It worked great! We are so blessed to have you and your team.”
“This new Habitat for Humanity Texas Loan Origination Assistance Program was such a wonderful resource for our small affiliate. I would also like to thank you all for helping us get into LO compliance with your State Training. You all came to our rescue. We are so glad we are members!”

Putting Faith into Action
Habitat’s ministry is based on the conviction that to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, we must love and care for one another. Our love must not be words only – it must be true love, which shows itself in action. Habitat provides an opportunity for people to put their faith and love into action. We bring diverse groups of people together to make affordable housing and better communities a reality for everyone.
All are Welcome
Habitat for Humanity has an open-door policy: All who believe that everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live are welcome to help with the work, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, political views or any of the other distinctions that too often divide people. In short, Habitat welcomes volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds and also serves people in need of decent housing regardless of race or religion. As a matter of policy, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations do not proselytize. This means that Habitat will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith, or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
