Habitat's Ultimate Goal

The ultimate goal of Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the face of the earth by building adequate and basic housing. Furthermore, all of our words and actions are for the ultimate purpose of putting shelter on the hearts and minds of people in such a powerful waythat poverty housing and homelessness become socially, politically and religiously unacceptable in our nations and world.

Here in Santa Barbara we are striving to accomplish this this goal by building safe, decent and affordable homes for local families in-need.
