Habitat for Humanity Shelter is a primary need for all. At its most basic, it is just a roof and four walls where we are safe and dry. Habitat for Humanity believes that simple, decent shelter is a basic human right.
 Adequate shelter provides so much more than a roof. It is one of the corner stones upon which healthy, productive lives can be built. Slum housing causes ill health, severely limits educational and economic opportunity, and perpetuates the cycle of poverty. To free a family from poverty housing has immediate and direct health benefits, and is strongly associated with rising educational and economic attainment. But, most of all, it honors an individual’s innate human dignity—they have a dwelling they do not feel ashamed of and will proudly call home. |
