Just Neighbors for Habitat for Humanity

"The ultimate goal for Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the face of the earth by building adequate and basic housing. Furthermore, all of our words and actions are for the ultimate purpose of putting shelter on the hearts and minds of people in such a powerful way that poverty housing and homelessness become socially, politically and religiously unacceptable in our nations and world."

Just Neighbors is a perfect tool to keep hearts and minds focused on the real challenge to overcome in Habitat's work: poverty. For boards of directors, staff, volunteers and congregations, Just Neighbors is designed to reveal the underlying causes of poverty in our nation today -- the lack of affordable, safe and clean housing being one of the critical causes.

"Habitat for Humanity has a great program to engage people in action. Many thousands join forces with us each year as curious individuals and casual volunteers. In looking for a tool to educate them, their organizations and faith groups so they become committed advocates, we discovered Just Neighbors. Its quality, design and flexibility are just the ticket and we applaud Family Promise for providing such a valuable tool for transformation and poverty alleviation."

Mr. Marty Kooistra, CEO, Seattle, South King County Habitat for Humanity
