Habitat for Humanity joins the world in mourning the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. A champion for affordable and decent housing, he and Rosalynn Carter donated their time and leadership each year to build and improve homes with Habitat around the world.
Celebrating 10 years of empowering women, volunteers will build and improve 600 homes during National Women Build Week, May 6-14.
The nationwide launch aims to help families and older adults live more affordably and retain homes for future generations.
