  * To provide shelter for homeless individuals and families regardless of race, creed, national origin, gender, religion, or age.
  * To develop low income housing for people in need of housing.
  * To help people develop the skills and knowledge for constructing and rehabilitating housing and shelter.
  * To increase the quantity and to improve the quality of housing in the world.
