MISSION STATEMENT

Fort Bend Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit ecumenical housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness in Fort Bend County by building simple quality housing with the help of homeowner (partner) families.

VISION

As employees and volunteers with Habitat for Humanity, we commit to the task of providing simple, decent and affordable housing to all program eligible Fort Bend County families.  Living into this vision means we are:

Educational:  We provide ongoing programs to educate our homeowners in the responsibilities of home ownership and good citizenship.

Youthful:  Participation by the area high schools is vibrant and growing and where community pride is developed and supported and the youth are prepared for community service.

Growing and Forming:  By building villages, we form civic minded neighborhoods that support one another and give back to the community.

Reaching Out to Serve:  Hard working people who are in need of decent affordable housing find hope for a brighter future through the outreach and hard work provided by the Fort Bend Habitat volunteers.  As a result, those who serve and are served are transformed.
