Habitat For HumanityWhy We Do What We Do
We must take action to erase sub-standard housing from our community; in doing so, we strengthen the community for us all.
What We Believe
Every child should have a place to call a home. Every man, woman and child in our community should
have a sound roof to shelter them from all kinds of storms.
No one should be forced to pay half of their income to rent a shack home
No child should be forced to sleep on a cold, hard floor in unhealthy and unsanitary conditions.
We Believe That…
According to the City of Mankato Consolidated Plan 2010-2014…
Households with an annual income below 30% of the median income experience the greatest difficulty securing affordable housing. Of more than 1,300 renter households with an annual income below 30% of the median, 76% had a cost burden in 2000. Overall, 59% of these very low income household were paying more than 50% of their income for rent.
The Case for Support
95 million people in the United States- one-third of the nation- have housing problems, including lack of affordability, overcrowding, unsafe conditions, and homelessness.
When individuals and families pay too much for housing, it does not leave enough for other necessities like good nutrition, health care, transportation, education or saving for the future.
When families have a stable, affordable home, they can:-Provide stability for their children-Gain improved health, physical safety, and security-Increase educational and job prospects-Be engaged in their communities
Facts to Support Case Statement
Health: Inadequate housing impacts health, especially the health of children. After moving into
Habitat homes, asthma and allergies are two conditions that dramatically improve in children.
Economic prosperity A healthy housing market attracts businesses that depend on a range of housing options for
their employees. Education: Stable, healthy housing is one of the most effective strategies for improving school
performance in low income children. Transportation When people can find good housing that they can afford near work, it improves our
transportation system by decreasing congestion and reducing commuting costs. Environment Habitat’s commitment to green building produces energy-efficient homes that are more
affordable to maintain. Additionally, building housing near public transportation and thriving job centers results in diminished air pollution and congestion.
