InterHab
is founded upon certain shared beliefs and values which are
an
expression of our mission and purpose as individuals, as professionals,
as organizations and as a voluntary association.
We believe in the inherent dignity of the individual.
We believe community services, employment
or housing should be open to all, regardless of race, color,
national origin, religion, sex, age or disability.
We believe that community services
should reflect a reasonable response to the whole community's
needs.
We believe that individuals should
receive the services they need within their own communities
or within their community of choice or geographic region of
choice in order to promote integration and to prevent segregation
and institutionalization.
We believe that government, business
and industry should form partnerships to foster economic opportunities
for all citizens in the community.
We believe it is the responsibility
of the society to enact and enforce the laws which prohibit
discrimination, through education and training, incentives
for the initiation of needed programs, and resources to assist
individuals to live as independently as possible.
