Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to eliminating poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to making decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. The UW-Madison Campus Chapter of Habitat for Humanity accomplishes this by engaging ourselves, our campus, our community, and our world in Education, Advocacy, Building, and Fundraising.
