A U.S. Army National Guard veteran and father of four, Moses had dreamed of and worked toward the day where he and his family could have a home of their own. He almost couldn’t believe it when the family services coordinator for Honolulu Habitat for Humanity said, “Welcome to the Habitat family.”
At the 2016 United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III), Habitat for Humanity welcomed the adoption of the New Urban Agenda. As part of this framework, we committed to reduce poverty and foster more sustainable cities by increasing access to decent shelter for over 200 million people by 2036.
As communities across the U.S. have faced shortages of safe, decent housing, we have focused on various strategies for increasing the supply and preservation of affordable homes where residents are able to live and raise families.
