The 39th annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project took place October 26–31, 2025, led by Austin Habitat for Humanity. Hundreds of volunteers came together to build 25 affordable, energy-efficient homes in Whisper Valley, a sustainable community in East Austin. Check out this year’s house photos, featuring homeowners and volunteers.
Carter Work Project volunteers lend a hand to the Charlotte community’s work building a thriving neighborhood at the historic site where an all-Black, segregation-era school called Plato Price stood. The once-empty lot is being transformed into an affordable, vibrant neighborhood with single-family homes, walking paths, nature areas and a community meeting space.
From city halls to statehouses, Habitat is working alongside partners and advocates in the United States to drive real change — reforming zoning laws, unlocking funding and shaping policies that make homeownership more attainable.
By increasing access to adequate housing in informal settlements, the Home Equals campaign improves health, increases safety and security, and creates a brighter future for individuals and communities.
We’re in this together. We know that policy advocacy is stronger when we work in partnership with others. For this reason, Home Equals will engage with allies in action, at all levels and geographies.

We work in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa and more.
Donating your renovation materials keeps functional items out of the landfill. Other renovators get the building materials they need for their projects, and you get to help others while getting rid of your trash.
We support policies that prevent eviction, support renters and protect the land and property rights of women, indigenous groups and vulnerable people.
We work in many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, including Mexico, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Argentina and more.
