Lafayette Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people of all faiths and races to develop communities for people in need by building and renovating houses, creating homeownership opportunities.
Lafayette Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. LHFH seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Our affiliate currently builds15 homes a year and will continue to build more to reach our goal of 20 homes a year. We know that this goal would not be reached without our extensive partnership with CNCS and the AmeriCorps program.

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support an affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, age, marital status, sexual orientation, or sources of income.
