Holy Cross Habitat for Humanity is a student-run chapter of Habitat for Humanity International.  HC Habitat sends students away on the Collegiate Challenge Alternative Spring Break Program and builds right in Worcester with its local affiliate, Greater Worcester Habitat for Humanity.  Completely student-run, HC Habitat strives to be “men and women for others” through the works of Habitat for Humanity International. 

Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is a non-profit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry.  HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.  Habitat invites people from all walks of life to work together in partnership to help build houses with families in need. Habitat has built over 100,000 houses around the world, providing some 500,000 people in more than 2,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter.  HFHI was started in 1976 by Milliard Fuller, along with his wife Linda.
