After Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico in 2017, Antero and Luz worked to repair their damaged home the best they could, even patching their own roof. Now, with the support of Habitat and AbbVie, they have a safe and secure home where their family can gather again.
Habitat for Humanity is committed to increasing access to safe, decent and affordable housing in Puerto Rico and assisting people on their “pathway to permanence” in securing shelter.
Habitat for Humanity se compromete en incrementar el acceso a la vivienda asequible, segura y digna en Puerto Rico y a ayudar a las personas en su “camino hacia la permanencia” para conseguir la vivienda.

After hurricanes Irma and Maria barreled across Puerto Rico, many families were unable to access disaster assistance because they did not have proof of a clear title for their homes. In response, Habitat and AbbVie began working together to help families secure land tenure through title clearance.
