Habitat examined research on how housing conditions influence health outcomes worldwide, and the findings show time spent at home plays a powerful role in shaping people’s daily lives and long-term well-being.

Jonathan Reckford announces Habitat’s Let’s Open the Door global campaign to elevate the urgency of the world’s housing crisis, kicking off with an installation of 10 artist‑designed doors in NYC’s Washington Square Park.

Behind every open door is a story. As we build on fifty years of making home possible, we’re highlighting some of the people and innovations at the heart of our mission.

We’re bringing pop-up door installations to 10 cities around the world! These exhibits feature stories from homeowners, stats and facts about the global housing crisis and original work from local artists. 

Over the past fifty years, we have helped more than 65 million people around the world build, improve or finance places to call home. Now, we’re building on that momentum.
