Mission
Our Mission
The Catholic University of America Habitat for Humanity Campus Chapter is a student coordinated, student led organization that seeks to put God’s love into action by promoting awareness of the need to eliminate substandard housing in the United States and by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope! We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ — to follow the example He set to love our neighbors, to serve the poor, and to use our gifts to stand for human dignity, promote justice, and help those in need.
We offer 5 HFH collegiate challenge trips for students at Catholic U by volunteering at various Habitat for Humanity sites across the United States during spring break. The emphasis of these trips shall be on serving communities outside of Washington, D.C. and immersing our students into the culture, customs, and unique problems of those communities. By going on a spring break trip, a student should return conscious of the mission of Habitat for Humanity, educated on diversity and affordable housing within the United States, and possessed with a desire to communicate both the need to eradicate all homelessness and to promote affordable housing for all in their home communities.
IT IS OUR GOAL THAT WE SHALL BE “BUILDING A BETTER LIFE, ONE NAIL AT A TIME.”
