About
Habitat for Humanity Blair County
Habitat for Humanity Blair County
is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on
Christian principles that seeks to put God's love into action by
building homes, communities and hope. Habitat for Humanity Blair
County is 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
All
are welcome
Habitat for Humanity Blair 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 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 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.
