Habitat for Humanity
Founded
in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for
Humanity International has built more than 500,000
quality, affordable homes and has served over 2.5
million people worldwide.
Habitat for Humanity volunteers, working hand-in-hand
with the families they serve, build quality, affordable
homes using donations of money and materials. Partner
families, as our homebuyers are known, invest hundreds
of hours of sweat equity in the construction of their
homes. Once completed, they buy their homes, making
monthly payments on an interest-free mortgage. Their
house payments revolve back into Habitat’s work; a
dollar invested in Habitat is a buck that never stops —
it just keeps building.
With more than 1,500 U.S. affiliates and 550
international affiliates coordinating Habitat
house-building projects in over 3,000 communities around
the world, Habitat has attracted millions of volunteers,
from U.S. presidents to such celebrities as Cher, Reba
McIntire and Oprah, to name a few.
Fort Worth Area Habitat for Humanity, Inc. was founded
in 1989 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity
International, serving Fort Worth and Tarrant County. In
2006, the name was changed to Trinity Habitat for
Humanity to include the four counties we now serve.
Having grown from a handful of dedicated founders into a
volunteer corps of thousands, today Trinity Habitat for
Humanity is ranked #20 out of 1,571 Habitat affiliates
in the nation in new home production.
