We build more than homes. We create a path to homeownership. Sometimes people can’t afford to repair their existing home, and we partner with them to find solutions. Habitat is a hand up, not a handout.
Habitat Bucks is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization founded on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities, and hope. We are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating, and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman, and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.
Habitat Bucks has an open-door policy: all who believe that everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live are welcome to help with our 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 and supporters from all backgrounds and also serves people in need of decent housing, regardless of race or religion. As a matter of policy, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations do not proselytize. This means 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.
Whether you are interested in becoming a volunteer, would like to donate, or would like to learn more about our housing programs, reach out to Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County at 215.822.2812.
Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) has helped build or repair more than 800,000 houses and served more than 4 million people around the world. HFHI was founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller and his wife Linda.

The Mission
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope
Habitat for Humanity’s work is accomplished at the community level by affiliates—independent, locally run, nonprofit organizations. Each affiliate coordinates all aspects of Habitat home building in its local area—fund raising, building site selection, partner family selection and support, house construction, and mortgage servicing. Founded in 1990 Habitat Bucks is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International.
Habitat for Humanity International’s operational headquarters, located in Americus, Georgia, USA, and its administrative headquarters, located in Atlanta, Georgia, provide information, training and a variety of other support services to Habitat affiliates worldwide. Habitat is a worldwide grassroots movement with a presence in more than 90 countries.
All Habitat affiliates are asked to “tithe”—giving a percentage of their contributions to fund house-building work in other nations. Tithing provides much-needed funds for international building, and it also gives affiliates the opportunity to demonstrate the spirit of Christian partnership. In 2013, U.S. affiliates tithed $12.8 million to support Habitat’s work overseas.
