Millard and Linda Fuller founded the Habitat for Humanity movement in 1976 in Americus, Georgia. Built on the idea of partnership housing, Habitat for Humanity volunteers gave a hand up to those in need by working side by side with them to build safe, decent and affordable houses.

Habitat for Humanity London History
Habitat for Humanity London was established in 1993. We are a non-profit, non-denominational Christian housing organization. We welcome partners without discrimination to help us build simple, decent, affordable homes with low-income families. 100% of the ReStores revenue supports the administrative costs of Habitat for Humanity London.
We believe that by offering a family a hand-up, not a hand-out, we empower low-income families to become successful homeowners.
Habitat London is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity Canada, who works with corporate, individual and faith-based donors and volunteers to help low-income families realize a more stable future through our home ownership program.
We help families who:
- can demonstrate a need for affordable housing,
- are willing to partner with us and volunteer 500 hours of “sweat equity”, and
- have the ability to repay an interest-free mortgage over an average of 25 years.
Mortgage revenues go directly into a revolving house building fund to continue building yet more Habitat homes.
