About Us

Tulsa Habitat for Humanity is a local, non-profit affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. We work in partnership with low-income people to eliminate substandard housing conditions at a local level. The Tulsa affiliate began in 1988, and has completed  over 200 homes so far, providing shelter for over 600 Tulsans. We are currently planning to build 24 houses in 2010.

Our Mission

Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people everywhere, from all walks of life to develop communities with God’s people in need by building and renovating houses so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which people can live and grow into all that God intended.

Our Approach

Through house sponsorship, individual donations, and volunteer time, we build quality, affordable and attractive houses. These homes are sold to homebuyer families through no-interest loans. Homebuyers complete 500 hours of “sweat equity” in addition to paying for their homes, working side-by-side with sponsors and volunteers to help build their own and other Tulsa Habitat homes. Our prospective homebuyers learn what is required to qualify for the  Habitat program: steady income, good credit and a need for better housing. Other than the income guidelines, applying for a  Habitat home is similar to applying for a conventional loan. Learn more from Tulsa FAQs sheet.

who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. – Titus 2:14
