About the Starkville Area Habitat for Humanity
The Starkville Area Habitat for Humanity is a Christian mission that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities, and hope. The Starkville Area Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing through the construction of new homes and providing a no interest mortgage to low income homeowners who need a better place to live and are willing to work hard to make a better life for their families.
Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman, and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.
All Are Welcome
The Starkville Area Habitat for Humanity has an open-door policy: All who believe that everyone needs a decent, affordable place to live are welcome to help with the work, regardless of race, religion, age, gender, political views or any of the other distinctions that too often divide people. In short, Habitat welcomes volunteers and supporters from all backgrounds and also serves people in need of decent housing regardless of race or religion. As a matter of policy, Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations do not proselytize. This means that Habitat will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must either adhere to or convert to a particular faith, or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
