Founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity is a true world leader in addressing the issues of poor housing conditions.
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.
In 2023, Habitat launched a sustainable design innovation challenge, generously sponsored by Weyerhauser, with the goal of increasing access to affordable, high-quality homes by encouraging innovative ideas that promote sustainability and resiliency. Check out a slideshow of the results.
Habitat for Humanity crews have fanned out in Haiti’s southwestern peninsula to survey homes in the wake of a powerful earthquake that has killed at least 1,297 people and caused thousands of structures to the crumble to the ground.
