Mission Statement: Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people
everywhere, from all walks of life, to develop communities with people in need by building and
renovating houses so that there are decent houses in decent communities in which every
person can experience God’s love and can live and grow into all that God intends.
Background Information: Habitat for Humanity of Greater Pittsburgh's mission is the elimination
of substandard housing in Allegheny County and throughout the world. HFHGP works in
partnership with volunteers and low-income families in need to build homes which are then
purchased by these families through no-profit, no-interest mortgages. Since 1986, 69 families
who were living in substandard conditions have moved into their own homes.
The ReStore sells reusable house building and home improvement materials to the public. The
thrift store accepts donated goods which are sold at 30%-50% of the retail value. All proceeds
from the sale of donations help place families in affordable shelter in the Greater Pittsburgh
area. The ReStore provides an environmentally and socially responsible way to keep good,
reusable materials out of the waste stream while providing funding for Habitat’s community
improvement work.
