Houston Habitat for Humanity

Mission:

Since 1987, individuals, businesses and groups in our community have joined Houston Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place people call home.

Through shelter, we empower people to build a better future for themselves and their families by completing financial and home maintenance training, building homes alongside volunteers, and by purchasing their homes with an affordable mortgage. With this hand up, they achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance.

Mission

SHRC is well known in the City of Houston for bringing numerous resources to bear in helping low-to lower income residents of the Settegast Heights to better cope with their impoverished conditions. In response to the devastation from Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Dr. Rosalyn Francis, the Executive Director/Founder of organized a team of professional craftsmen and service agencies to give housing rehabilitation, disaster relief supplies, and hot meals to the low-to lower than income residents of Settegast Heights with the most need (elderly, disabled, and families with children who reside in the damaged and toxic houses). With the assistance of Habitat for Humanities, St. Peter Clavier Catholic Church, other community partners, and volunteers, she was able to rehabilitate five (5) homes in and four in (4) 2021. While the efforts and passion of SHRC are to be admired, the results are more palliative in nature when compared to the massive housing repair needs in Settegast Heights.
