OUR HISTORY

Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. The concept of Habitat for Humanity is that each Habitat Affiliate and those in need of adequate shelter would work side-by-side with volunteers to build simple, decent homes.

Habitat for Humanity of Hillsborough County became an Affiliate in 1987. Since then, we have built over 130 homes in Hillsborough County.

OUR MISSION

Habitat for Humanity of Hillsborough County Florida, Inc. is a volunteer nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to providing decent, affordable housing in partnership with the community and deserving families in Hillsborough County.

At Habitat Hillsborough, our focus is on showing the love of God to families in Hillsborough County by giving them a hand up, not a hand out.  Habitat homebuyers must donate 500 "Sweat Equity" hours, be able to assist with closing costs, and make monthly mortgage payments.  Habitat homes are sold to our homeowners at no profit with a no-interest mortgage.

We invite donors and volunteers from all walks of life to come together with our future homeowners to build relationships and to realize dreams.  Together we BUILD HOMES...BUILD LIVES...BUILD HOPE.

OUR GOAL

The ultimate goal of Habitat for Humanity of Hillsborough County is to eliminate substandard and poverty housing and homelessness from Hillsborough County.  We build homes...build lives...and build hope.  Futhermore, all our words and actions are for the ultimate purpose of putting shelter on the hearts and minds of people in such a powerful way that poverty housing and homelessness become socially, politically and religiously unacceptable in our nations and world.
