Why donate money to charity, especially to a housing ministry?
Answering the first part of the question is somewhat easier than the second part. The why donate money to charity part of the questions is basic at it’s core: an individual or group hold a belief that they have sufficient, if not abundant resources (usually money) to take care of themselves and believe that a portion of their excess can be applied to a cause or ministry that improves something they care about.
The second part off the question about why donate money to charity, especially a housing ministry is a little more nuanced.
The individual or group doing the giving has come to the conclusion that housing is important and therefore their contributions can make the biggest impact when applied to sheltering people around the world.

I'm looking to make a difference in the lives of people living in extreme poverty and those living in inadequate living conditions. I've seen the conditions in both extreme poverty and disasters and believe we can do a better job of helping out; especially babies, children, and families. We are blessed to live in America, and this is my time to give back! Won't you join me?
