About us
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The Christian housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit habitat.org.

As the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana, scales its efforts to revitalize disinvested neighborhoods, they’ve partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Fort Wayne to accelerate affordable homebuilding. In March of last year, the city transferred enough residential lots for the affiliate to build 32 affordable homes in Renaissance Pointe, a historically underserved neighborhood in southeast Fort Wayne. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom design that will be used for many of these new homes won the Best in Equity and Inclusion category in the latest Habitat House Design Contest. Learn more about this design and other category winners. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eKK737Ra

“You’ll be shocked that I’m going to use a housing analogy, but if your family, career and service are the house, your values are the foundation on which those are built. You don’t see the foundation, but it is essential to the integrity of the home. There will be storms, and when they happen, they reveal the strength of your foundation.” Click to watch our CEO Jonathan Reckford's full speech from the Stanford Graduate School of Business's recent graduation ceremony. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gpywPbQx

When housing costs are high, families are forced to choose between keeping a roof over their heads or having reliable transportation, healthy food or medical care. With support from corporate partners like Whirlpool Corporation, who has donated $375,000 toward our #CostOfHome campaign, Habitat for Humanity affiliates advocating for policy and systems changes across the U.S. that will make housing costs more affordable. Here are stories from Ohio and Michigan that illustrate the impact of our efforts. https://lnkd.in/ekxmvuNb

While Habitat for Humanity welcomes the mention of “the transformative power of cities worldwide as drivers for sustainable development”, the G7 Leaders’ Summit communique overlooks the pervasive global housing crisis and rapid urbanization driving the expansion of informal settlements. As such, the G7 misses a significant opportunity to achieve its further ambitions for sustainable development and industrial growth in Africa and beyond. We are urging G7 leaders to recognize that improving the homes of the most vulnerable is essential for human development, and a critical gap in their Official Development Assistance. Read our full response to the G7 communique that includes insight from our COO Patrick Canagasingham and recommedations for future commitments. https://lnkd.in/eW7BXiDU #HomeEquals #G7Italy
