Homeowners Nilda, Christina, Ai, Yessica – and longtime volunteer Teri – reflect on the difference Habitat and homeownership have made in their lives.
We support policies that reduce vulnerabilities and help people adapt to climate-related hazards and threats.
We support policies that prevent eviction, support renters and protect the land and property rights of women, indigenous groups and vulnerable people.
Learn about Habitat’s homeownership process and family selection qualifications. Habitat does not give away houses; instead, future homeowners partner with local affiliates and volunteers to build or rehabilitate a home and pay an affordable mortgage.
This year, we celebrate 25 years of Habitat for Humanity ReStores. That’s 25 years of helping more families build decent, affordable homes in your community and around the world.
Carter Work Project volunteers lend a hand to the Charlotte community’s work building a thriving neighborhood at the historic site where an all-Black, segregation-era school called Plato Price stood. The once-empty lot is being transformed into an affordable, vibrant neighborhood with single-family homes, walking paths, nature areas and a community meeting space.
We’re in this together. We know that policy advocacy is stronger when we work in partnership with others. For this reason, Home Equals will engage with allies in action, at all levels and geographies.
