Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in approximately 70 countries. Habitat envisions a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Red River Valley Habitat for Humanity’s Mission is based on the vision of developing partnerships between churches, businesses and concerned individuals to assist hardworking, low income people to build and own their own homes. We offer a hand up, not a hand out. We do not give away our houses. We are able to keep the houses affordable by offering a zero interest mortgage and, we require our Habitat for Humanity homeowners to invest 250 hours of "sweat equity" to help build their home. |
OUR MISSIONSeeking to put God's love into action. Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. |
STRENGTH
With a little help, we all have the potential to stand on our own. No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve to have a decent life. Every single one of us deserves the opportunity for a better future.

STABILITY
Strong and stable homes help build strong and stable communities. A decent place to live can remove barriers to opportunity, success and health that might have been part of a family’s life for years, if not generations. Better, affordable living conditions lead to improved health, stronger childhood development, and the ability — and financial flexibility — to make forward-looking choices.

SELF-RELIANCE
Habitat homeowners receive financial education, help build their houses and pay an affordable mortgage. A decent place to live and an affordable mortgage create a situation where homeowners can save more, invest in education, pursue opportunity and have more financial stability.
