Building Houses, Healing Communities Prison Partnership is a Habitat for Humanity program that facilitates a cooperative effort between Habitat affiliates and correctional institutions. Through the program, offenders have the opportunity to volunteer with Habitat affiliates and homeowners to participate in various aspects of house construction. Habitat homeowners benefit from the Prison Partnership program as houses are completed more quickly with the help of eager, competent, cooperative volunteers. Offenders benefit as they work with others toward positive goals while learning marketable job skills and practicing social responsibility. Finally, the community benefits from investing in and developing a large future workforce. Find out how to start a Prison Partnership at your affiliate or correctional facility.
