Habitat for Humanity-Los Angeles works in partnership with God, the community, and people in need by building and renovating homes to make affordable housing a matter of conscience and action. The Los Angeles affiliate of HFHI was founded in July of 1991. There are over 1,500 U.S. affiliates in all 50 states, plus more than 200 international affiliates in over 60 countries. Since 1976 HFHI has completed over 80,000 homes. HFH-LA has completed over 75 houses since 1992, and plans to build or rehabilitate twice that many in the coming years.
Affiliates raise their own funds to build homes.
Our boundaries encircle the Los Angeles basin. Each Habitat affiliate is an independent entity governed by a Board of Directors who conduct their own fundraising and set their own policies. HFH-LA is led by an 18 member Board. A professional staff manages the daily operations of the affiliate. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit and financed with affordable, no-interest loans.
