HABITAT FOR HUMANITY of Greater Sioux Falls
Vision: A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sioux Falls is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities and hope. Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sioux Falls is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have an affordable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.
Globally, Habitat for Humanity has increased access to improved shelter through products and services for more than 5 million people worldwide.
