Thirty years after helping Habitat for Humanity rebuild a derelict apartment building on New York City’s Lower East Side, the first couple returned to visit some of the families who have thrived there since.
The thoughts and prayers of the entire Habitat for Humanity family go out to President and Mrs. Carter as he begins his treatment.
While every Habitat house is built to keep families safe, warm and dry, their designs and layouts vary based on local style, climate, cultural customs and locally available materials.
We are deeply grateful to the many partners who help Habitat for Humanity build decent and affordable housing in the United States and around the world.
Habitat for Humanity’s International Women Build Week is an annual weeklong event created by Habitat’s Women Build program in partnership with Lowe’s that invites women to help families build strength, stability and independence through housing.
At Habitat, we work with staff members, trained specialists, volunteers and homeowners to put safety at the forefront of every project. Learn how you can be safe on a Habitat job site.
