1. Background

Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is an international non-profit organization with a vision of a
world where everyone has a decent place to live, this ballooning problem gives us a sense of urgency.

Even though we have increased our impact 100-fold over the last 15 years, we are not satisfied – and
we will not be until our vision is reality.

We began as a grassroots movement in 1976, encouraging local Habitat entities to spring up across
the globe. Today, Habitat works in 70 countries, and all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. 
To make significant progress, we must evolve how Habitat for Humanity works, coming together as one
global network to step up our impact.

Our strategic plan for fiscal years 2025-2027 focuses on readying ourselves for our next 50 years of
impact by aligning the Habitat network behind the ideas we believe will drive scale as our 50th
anniversary approaches.

We have set an ambitious goal of increasing access to affordable housing for
50 million people – and that is why we are calling this plan “50 for 50: Readying for Our Next 50 Years
of Impact.”
