The mission of Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity is to demonstrate the love and teachings of Jesus Christ in Chittenden County through: - Constructing simple, decent, affordable houses in partnership with families who currently live in unfit, indecent, inhuman conditions and have no possibility of obtaining a home through any conventional means.
- Selling these homes to the partner family for cost, with no profit and no interest. Reinvesting the mortgage payments from these partner families to build more simple, decent, affordable homes.
- Providing a means for people who have resources of time, money, or materials to channel them to the poor. Involving an ever increasing number of people in the work of Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity.
- Tithing from donations to support the work of Habitat for Humanity International in countries with greater need than exists in the United States.
- Working with people of good conscience and other organizations with similar interests to raise awareness of housing issues so that everyone in the world can have the opportunity to have a simple, decent, affordable place to live.
"If a rich person sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against his brother; how can he claim that he loves God? My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action" I John 3:17-18
