Mission, Vision, Values
Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, a U.S. married couple who left a successful business and affluent lifestyle to live a life of Christian service. Working with farmer and biblical scholar Clarence Jordan, they developed the concept of helping those in need secure affordable homeownership by enlisting volunteers to work side by side with families to build simple houses where they can raise their children. Habitat for Humanity has long been recognized for its leadership in building homes that are affordable and revitalizing neighborhoods across the country, creating vibrant, and inviting places to live for current and future residents.

Habitat for Humanity of Butte County has an open-door policy
All who believe that everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live are welcome to help with the work, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, political views or any of the other distinctions that too often divide people. In short, Habitat welcomes volunteers, supporters, and future homeowners from all backgrounds regardless of race or religion.
As a matter of policy, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations do not proselytize. This means that Habitat will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith, or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
