To shine the light on the need for more affordable housing in rural America, Habitat held its first-ever Rural Rally as part of the 2025 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project. 

The 39th annual Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project took place October 26–31, 2025, led by Austin Habitat for Humanity. Hundreds of volunteers came together to build 25 affordable, energy-efficient homes in Whisper Valley, a sustainable community in East Austin. Check out this year’s house photos, featuring homeowners and volunteers. 

The 2019 Carter Work Project headed to Tennessee where President and Mrs. Carter worked alongside future homeowners and volunteers to build 21 homes in Nashville.

By increasing access to adequate housing in informal settlements, the Home Equals campaign improves health, increases safety and security, and creates a brighter future for individuals and communities.
