Vision Statement

Austin Habitat for Humanity will be at the forefront of the Greater Austin area's efforts to eliminate poverty housing by building community in multiple ways:

• Building simple, decent, affordable homes in a way that optimizes volunteers, partner families, and commercial resources
• Empowering partner families to break the cycle of poverty housing through education, skill development, and mentoring to become successful homeowners
• Building a spirit of volunteerism by providing volunteer experiences and encouraging philanthropy to support the mission and spirit of Austin Habitat for Humanity
• Maximize the ReStore initiative to provide affordable restoration materials, foster ecology-friendly DeConstruction and recycling, and generate vital funding for our future growth.
