Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is a global non-profit whose mission is to ensure everyone has a safe and decent place in which to live. Formed in 1976, HFHI operates in 70 countries around the world, and implements a range of programs that provide direct improvement in housing conditions to households and communities; influence housing policies and market systems; and raise awareness of the critical linkages between housing conditions and broader human development dimensions.
Habitat for Humanity’s current international program framework has identified rapid urbanization as a key driver of the global housing deficit. As such, the organization is assessing the extent and diversity of its urban programs and developing guidelines, frameworks, and tools aiming at increasing the scale, appropriateness, and quality of urban programming. The different models of intervention in urban areas across HFHI’s global network range from direct work in low-income urban communities and informal settlements to influencing urban policies, urban and land use planning, and market approaches that enable affordable and adequate urban housing and contribute to sustainable and inclusive urban development.
