Mission Statement

Habitat for Humanity-Corpus Christi is a non-profit ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat is founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, decent, affordable place to live in dignity and safety.

How Does Habitat for Humanity Work?

We offer a hand up, not a hand out. Prospective homeowners go through an extensive interview and selection process. The selection committee considers family size, present housing conditions and income. Home visits and credit checks are conducted.

When a family is selected, they are required to contribute 300 - 500 hours of "sweat equity". These hours are earned in construction, ReStore, fundraising, office work, and other areas of need. HFH-CC finances these homes, providing 25-30 year interest-free mortgages.

Our funding partners are individuals, churches, businesses, foundations, community organizations, and financial institutions.
