Habitat for Humanity’s vision and mission is, “A world where everyone has a decent place to live. While seeking to put God’s love into action.” This organization is about making sure that families in need are able to own an affordable house. The catch is that they are required to help build their home along with putting in a set amount of hours into other people’s homes, as well. This organization chose to help with housing for people in need because with the rising cost of housing they see how many families struggle to keep a adequate roof over their heads and wanted to be a positive change to those in need.
