Habitat For Humanity International (HFHI) is a non-profit Christian ministry that is dedicated to the elimination of substandard housing and homelessness worldwide. There are several local groups in communities within the United States of Habitat for Humanity.

Habitat for Humanity organizes volunteer groups that build simple, affordable houses that are sold to lower income families who need simple yet safe homes but cannot qualify for a bank loan. These families must meet requirements of need, ability to repay the cheap, interest free mortgage, and must be willing to continue work with habitat.

The money from these house payments the families pay monthly enter HFHI's private fund, which is used to fund further construction projects.

On January 31, 2005, HFHI's board of directors dismissed both Millard and Linda Fuller from their positions after allegations arose that Millard had sexually harassed a female employee in 2003. Although the termination remained final, representatives of the organization later admitted that the grounds for Fuller's termination may not have been completely true, and that he was likely dismissed due to a shift in corporate management.
