Habitat for Humanity Locations
Habit for Humanity's work is accomplished at the community level by affiliates -- independent, locally run, nonprofit organizations. Each affiliate coordinates all aspects of Habitat home building in its local area -- fund raising, building site selection, partner family selection and support, house construction and mortgage servicing.
Habitat is a worldwide, grass-roots movement. There are more than 1,900 active affiliates in 64 countries, including all 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico.
Habitat for Humanity International's headquarters, located in Americus, Ga., U.S.A., provides information, training and a variety of other support services to Habitat affiliates worldwide.
All Habitat affiliates are asked to "tithe" -- to give 10 percent of their contributions to fund house-building work in other nations. Some affiliates in developing countries also receive funding grants from Habitat for Humanity International.
