OUR MISSION
Habitat for Humanity of Indiana supports the work of the 71 Habitat affiliates located throughout the state of Indiana. The state support organization's mission is to assist local affiliates with communications advocacy, training, fund raising, volunteer recruitment, administration of statewide grants, and the promotion of a high level of professionalism among affiliates throughout the state.
Habitat for Humanity of Indiana provides
vital communications links among local affiliates and
between affiliates in Indiana and the worldwide network
of Habitat for Humanity affiliates operating
in all 50 states and in over 100 foreign countries.
Through our website, we also link local affiliates with
potential donors and with families and individuals seeking
affordable homeownership opportunities.
Habitat for Humanity of Indiana advocates
on behalf of local affiliates for affordable housing
programs at the state and national level. We also help
focus the energy and commitment of the hundreds of Habitat
board and staff members and thousands of Habitat volunteers
throughout the state seeking to increase the public’s
awareness of the need for more affordable housing units.
The role of our state organization is to provide a voice
for people interested in addressing affordable housing
issues and a forum for discussion among Habitat affiliates
and between Habitat and other affordable housing providers
at the local, state and national level.
Habitat for Humanity of Indiana serves
as a catalyst for change at the local affiliate level
by providing access to training workshops, conferences
and other events that will help the staff, boards and
volunteers of local affiliates gain necessary skills
and knowledge to better carry out their programs and
to grow in their capacity to fully utilize both the
financial and human resources that are available to
them as they seek to address the need for affordable
housing in their communities. The state organization
provides a statewide conference and workshop once each
year that is open to all Habitat staff, board members
and volunteers. It also organizes and conducts smaller
meetings and training workshops within the eight geographic
cluster areas of the state. Each cluster group meets
two to three times a year.
Habitat for Humanity of Indiana seeks
to empower and support local affiliates by providing
access to funding and material donations and by providing affiliates with access to more than 35 National Service volunteer through its statewide AmeriCorps program each year.
OUR VISION
Our vision is that all Indiana affiliates be healthy
– organizationally, financially and spiritually
– with the ability and capacity to eliminate poverty
housing from their communities.
