6 facts about Habitat’s sustainability efforts

Home affordability and sustainable building go hand-in-hand. Want a peek at how we’re helping homeowners and our planet? Check out these six facts for a glimpse into Habitat’s expansive sustainability work.

Veteran finds the right solution with Habitat

When her roof caved in, Vietnam-era veteran Marjorie partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Lapeer-Tuscola to build a safe, new home with help from a grant from Wells Fargo.

Disaster preparedness: Floods and flash floods

Some floods develop slowly, while others develop in just minutes. Being prepared and taking mitigation measures, such as building away from floodplains and elevating homes, can reduce the risk of damage and injuries in a flood.

No place like home

After raising her own kids, Carrie has signed on once again for days filled with homework, basketball games, music lessons — and she’ll get to do it all in her own home thanks to a repair program for older homeowners.

Serving those who served

Our Veterans Build program serves veteran homeowners like Louis with critical home repairs in 27 states thanks to support from The Home Depot Foundation.

Disaster preparedness: Earthquakes

Earthquakes strike suddenly, violently and without warning, but identifying potential hazards and planning can reduce the threat of damage, injuries and loss of life.

Aging in place in the Peach State

Home provides a strong sense of security and comfort — this is especially true for older adults. In Georgia alone, hundreds of homeowners across the state have partnered with their local Habitat to preserve their homes and their independence.

Reliable and sustainable basic services

We support policies that expand and improve the provision of basic services like clean drinking water and sanitation facilities.

How to make your house more energy-efficient

George O’Malley of Habitat Greater Boston shares his tips for reducing your house’s energy use.

Global Village

Global Village is a transformative weeklong international volunteer experience with opportunities across five continents. Volunteer groups support Habitat’s vision where everyone has a decent place to live by building or improving homes in partnership with local communities.
