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.
This year, Habitat marks 50 years of bringing people together to build prosperous and healthy communities. Drawing upon this milestone, the campaign will address the global housing need and bring this urgency forward through pop-up installations, on-the-ground builds and digital storytelling across more than 60 countries.
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.
Nine cities. Nine immersive installations. Countless stories. We transformed doors into works of art, spotlighting local creators and authentic homeowner experiences along the way. Relive the journey and discover the communities that opened the door to inspiration.
Over the past 50 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.
Volunteer with Habitat in your community and around the world. With our help, families can achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life.
