Our mission is to support
our statewide affiliates by
facilitating efforts to secure
resources to build homes,
promote the unique Habitat
self help model, and raise
awareness that housing is a
basic human need.
As a statewide support
organization (SSO) affiliated
with Habitat for Humanity
International we support the
work of Habitat for Humanity
affiliates in Hawaii through four
programs designated by
Habitat. They are:
• Resource Development

• A cooperative application by
Habitat affiliates and Hawaii
Habitat was submitted to the
Bank of Hawaii in 2009.
While it wasn’t funded, it
received a lot of praise and
demonstrates a collaborative
funding effort which we hope
to continue in the future.
Green Building
Since adding a Green Building Associate VISTA member in 2009, our technical
assistance in that area has grown significantly. Several important partnerships
are currently in development.
2009 saw the initiation of a strategic planning process for Hawaii Habitat. A
new mission and vision statement were drafted and adopted. Key informant
interviews were conducted with affiliate executive directors, strategic
directions were defined, goals were prioritized for each direction and teams
were set up to begin work on action plans.

From
In 2009, Hawaii Habitat became approved as a host site for www.americorps.gov
the Americorps VISTA program. This allows us to hire members to
make one year commitments to serve full time with our organization in
various areas. For our ‘pilot’ year, we hired a Research and Training Associate
and a Green Building Associate.
“Discussions about low-income homeownership
can be extremely complex, or they can be as
simple as imagining a family either continuing to
live in a cycle of poverty or having the opportunity
to break free, make changes and discover a world
of hope and promise.”
