Armstrong Habitat for Humanity, founded in 1992, is part of a global, non-profit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seeks to put God’s love into action by building homes, communities and hope. We are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating, and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman, and child regardless of race, religion, age, gender, and political views should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety; and that decent shelter in safe communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.
Our organization partners with local businesses, individuals, and churches to build and renovate houses for families in need within our county. Those houses then help to revitalize the neighborhood and increase the local tax base.

Our mission is to provide a safe, positive, and nurturing environment to enable individuals to develop skills and behaviors to become independent, employable, and integral members of their communities so they can achieve everyday lives with purpose and freedom of choice as they move toward jobs.
At PWAC, our ultimate goal is to help our clients and trainees develop the attitudes, behaviors, and skill sets to secure and maintain community employment. We have found that the best way to accomplish that is to form partnerships with local, supportive individuals and businesses; therefore, our mission becomes two-fold. We best serve the individuals enrolled in our programs by also serving the communities around us.
What does that mean? We believe that community participation is an important component in developing various skill sets, but we also find it to be a valuable element of everyday life. That is why we not only provide programming for our clients and trainees internally, but we also work to form partnerships with external businesses and organizations to provide more opportunities for our individuals to learn on-the-job in real work settings.
