About advocacy

Learn more about what advocacy is, why advocacy is important and the ways Habitat for Humanity is advocating for safe, affordable housing.

The need for affordable housing

A majority of Americans believe that it is challenging to find affordable quality housing in their communities and more than half of all adults say they have made at least one trade-off in order to cover their rent or mortgage.

Independence

Becoming a Habitat for Humanity homeowner with an affordable mortgage empowered Ronessa to build financial independence and launch her own successful business.

 

Building resilience after Hurricane Sandy

After Hurricane Sandy destroyed her home, Barbara was able to rebuild a stronger and more resilient home with the help of Habitat for Humanity. 

Together, we build better lives

Your financial support is a sound investment in a family’s future and helps us build much more than houses. Together, we’re helping families build strength, stability and self-reliance.

Access

Access to a safe, decent home can transform a life. Samantha is 13 years old and has lived in 13 different places. This last one, she says, is going to stick. “I know I am not going anywhere. And that feels good.”

Together, we build better lives

Your financial support is a sound investment in a family’s future and helps us build much more than houses. Together, we’re helping families build strength, stability and self-reliance.

Powered by love

David and Daniela achieve greater financial security in their Habitat home thanks to solar panels funded by a Whirlpool Corporation grant.
