Job Description

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY VISION AND MISSION

The vision of Habitat for Humanity is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. The mission statement is: "Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity bring people together to build homes, community, and hope" This mission is accomplished primarily through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, to build and rehabilitate houses for families in need of affordable housing. It is meant to be a hand-up, not a hand-out, in that the new homeowner is asked to spend a significant number of hours working on his or her new home and will be asked to repay a loan for the cost of the home.

ABOUT DUPAGE & CHICAGO SOUTH SUBURBS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

The DuPage affiliate of Habitat for Humanity (DHFH) was established in 1995 to provide decent housing to those in need who either reside or work in DuPage County, Illinois. Headquartered in Wheaton, IL, the affiliate has served over 110 families since its inception and has plans to grow in capacity to serve over 40 additional families per year.

DHFH operates under the umbrella of HFHI, but is solely responsible for funding its operation, choosing partner families, constructing, or rehabbing homes and ensuring the success of its partner families in DuPage County.

In March of 2020, Chicago South Suburbs (CSS) affiliate merged with DuPage Habitat for Humanity. Since then, both affiliates have been working in tandem to provide affordable housing for Chicago South Suburban families.
