Habitat for Humanity: A Christian Ministry

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat is founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, decent, affordable place to live in dignity and safety.

Episcopal Habitat Coalition:  In 1998, the men’s group at Christ Church of the Ascension had some outreach money left over from a building project and decided to solicit other Episcopal Churches in the valley to see if there was interest in building with Habitat. That fall the Coalition was formed with about 6 churches and we completed our first house in South Ranch of Phoenix. Since that time the Episcopal Habitat Coalition has incorporated as a 501 c 3 corporation, several churches have been added and have dropped from the collation and we have continually supported the Habitat ministry. On October 18, we started construction of our 18^th local house, and our 38^th world wide house. This effort has provided clean safe shelter for over 133 people on 3 continents.

As a member of the Episcopal Habitat Coalition St. Stephen's volunteers help build houses each year.
