In Memoriam

As we celebrate the life of our most famous volunteer, hear how he described what Habitat for Humanity meant to him. 

Leading by example

President Carter’s Habitat legacy lives on in the countless volunteers he inspired.

Habitat Humanitarians: The Carters

Since 1984, President and Mrs. Carter have been champions and groudbreaking voices for affordable, decent housing for all, donating their time and leadership each year to build and improve homes through Habitat’s Carter Work Project.

Working side by side

Homeowners who built alongside President Carter remember a man who gave his all on the build site.

A glimpse at what inspired President Carter

Former President Jimmy Carter served others his whole life, and we’ve been honored that this incredible passion led him to partner with Habitat for over 30 years. President Carter shared with us what inspired him to pursue a lifetime of helping others – a mission that has changed thousands of lives.

Publications and videos

We are committed to furthering the understanding around key trends in housing finance for low-income populations.

The solutions

Achieving policy solutions in the four areas laid out by our Cost of Home campaign platform has enabled families to have greater access to homes they can afford — and to all the opportunities that follow.

Habitat and WASH

Access to safe and reliable water, sanitation and hygiene — called WASH — is an integral component of adequate housing. By connecting communities with our solutions, we help advance health outcomes, environmental conservation, women’s empowerment, economic growth and education.

Carter Work Projects through the years

Since 1984, President and Mrs. Carter have been building and advocating for affordable housing alongside Habitat for Humanity for over 30 years. Journey through the incredible legacy of Carter Work Projects!

Building the Beloved Community

Habitat is working to create what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called “the Beloved Community” — we will do the work in our practices, our programs and our networks to put equity and justice at the forefront of our efforts and bring that mission to the communities in which we work.
