  5. A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE HAS A DECENT PLACE TO LIVE. Building Homes, Transforming Communities, Changing Lives. HOUSING CRISIS In India: 40 million families lack adequate housing in India 60% of India’s population lives in inhuman conditions 108 million dwellings are temporary or dilapidated

  6. Focus Programs Housing Construction and Repair Habitat builds homes, communities and hope by building decent and affordable houses, improving homes and giving the less fortunate access to resources to live in dignified and healthy communities. Disaster Response and Risk Mitigation Habitat identifies and provides long-term solutions for families living in disaster-prone areas through the Disaster Preparedness and Response Initiatives and Resettlement and Rehabilitation Program. Water and Sanitation Habitat is helping to address the problems caused by poor water and sanitation, by including water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) education in the community development and housing projects, thereby, helping families to improve their health, productivity and general well being. Social Housing Microfinance Habitat helps strengthen communities throughout the Asia-Pacific region by working with partners to give families in need access to small, no interest loans for building or renovating simple, decent and affordable homes. Housing Support Services Habitat provides training, direct consultation and quality services that enable an individual or a family to access decent and affordable housing in terms of secure tenure, basic services, and shelter durability and space, and make shelter-related improvements which address health, safety and livelihood.

  7. THE HABITAT MODEL Habitat believes the best way to tackle poverty is to work with families in need and provide a - hand up, not a - hand out! Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit. Families repay through affordable, no-profit mortgage loans payable in affordable installments over 3-6 years . Monthly mortgage payments go into a “Fund for Humanity” a local revolving fund to be used to build more Habitat homes. Partner families also invest hundreds of hours of their own labor – sweat equity – into building their Habitat house and the houses of others. Sweat equity invested by home partners allows homeowners to work alongside neighbors and volunteers, increasing the pride of ownership and fostering the development of positive relationships within a community. Involvement of volunteers in house building is a unique aspect of Habitat’s housing programs that also ensures lower housing cost. Every year, Habitat India hosts more than 40 domestic and international teams of volunteers ranging from school students, corporate employees and institutional partners.
