Statement regarding President Jimmy Carter

Today we learned of President Carter’s announcement regarding his health.

The thoughts and prayers of the entire Habitat for Humanity family go out to President and Mrs. Carter as he begins his treatment.

Each year since 1984, President and Mrs. Carter have given a week of their time to help us improve and build homes around the world. Their efforts help raise awareness of the critical need for simple, decent and affordable housing.
