Our Mission, Vision, Strategy and Values
Joseph (son of of Maria R) working on their new home.
We seek a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Our Mission: Seeking to put God's love into action, Cowlitz County Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build HOPE, homes and communities.
Our Vision: A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Cowlitz County Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing in the community and to make simple, decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. We strive to put shelter on the hearts and minds of all people such that poverty housing and homelessness become socially, politically, and religiously unacceptable in our nation and in the world. We strive to engage all community members to provide the necessary resources, money and labor, to fulfill our mission.
Our Strategy: We seek out God’s people in greatest need, with sufficient resources to pay back the cost of house construction or renovation, at no interest or profit, who are willing to partner with us. All partner families must complete a minimum number of sweat-equity hours before they can take possession. Habitat for Humanity provides all partner families with advocates, for a minimum of 6-months, to assist in making the transition to home ownership as smooth as possible.
Our Values: Our Christian foundation calls for us to set aside religious differences and work toward a common goal: to eliminate poverty housing in our community. Our values set the stage for this work:
Partnership: From its very conception, Habitat for Humanity has been built on partnerships — partnerships with families, churches, area corporations, community organizations, and individuals. We believe in the power of families working side by side with volunteers to build a Habitat House.
Homeownership: We believe in the power of homeownership to change lives, improve communities, and build the hope that can break the cycle of poverty.
Diversity: We believe that everyone, from all walks of life, deserves a decent, affordable place to live and that each person has something to contribute to building houses!
Volunteerism: We believe in the power of a community coming together to make a difference, and we are committed to providing exceptional volunteer experiences.
Stewardship: We believe we are responsible to our community and to those who give generously so that we can continue to build houses in partnership with families in need. We are committed to excellence and to the efficient use of our resources, and are accountable to our families, volunteers and those who provide us with financial support.
Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations (HFH) including CCHFH will not proselytize. Nor will CCHFH work with entities or individuals who insist on proselytizing as part of their work with CCHFH. This means that CCHFH will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must (i) adhere to or convert to a particular faith or (ii) listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.

GET INVOLVED!
SHOP! DONATE! VOLUNTEER! Our volunteers provide most of the labor and support services; Individual and corporate donors provide financial assistance and (GIK) materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families invest hundreds of hours of labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a fund for Cowlitz Habitat that is used to build more houses. |
