Tulsa Habitat for Humanityis 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 191 homes so far,
providing shelter for over 550 Tulsans. We are currently planning to build 20 houses in 2009.
Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard and
Linda Fuller as a non-profit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry, seeking to eliminate substandard housing.
Habitat International has built more than 200,000 houses around the world in 100 countries, providing safe,
decent affordable housing for approximately one million people. Habitat is now building an average of 60 houses
a day or one every 25 minutes.
