.@Habitat_org is building homes and changing lives in the First State. I had a great conversation with Habitat leaders and discussed efforts to reduce our housing shortage. I have been proud to secure support for their work and was honored to receive the Housing Champion Award!
The need for affordable housing is urgent and vast. Habitat and other nonprofit developers cannot build enough to close the housing gap, but in this op-ed in @TheHill, our CEO @JReckford outlines how lawmakers can take immediate steps to meaningfully reduce the housing deficit.
Habitat for Humanity cannot solve the housing supply crisis by building alone, we are putting a stake in the ground, showing up and demanding change – today more than 400 advocates are on Capitol Hill, making their voices heard. #HabitatontheHill
#HabitatontheHill provides the opportunity for Habitat affiliates to share their tactics, success stories and expertise, enhancing the effectiveness of our advocacy efforts across the U.S.
“@Habitat_org is a political but not a partisan organization. We must work together on both sides of the aisle. Housing is top of mind in red & blue states, urban and rural communities.” ❤️🏡💙@JReckford on the importance of bridge building #HabitatontheHill#GoHeels
This morning, almost 450 housing advocates from across the country arrived in D.C. for #HabitatontheHill 2024 to learn how to effectively implement policy solutions and engage policymakers at all levels to make the #CostOfHome something we all can afford!
#HabitatontheHill begins today!
Hundreds of advocates are gathering in Washington, D.C., to meet with congressional offices, celebrate a year of policy successes at all levels of government, and leave with the tools necessary to increase their advocacy impact locally.
Transformational! That is the word that keeps surfacing to describe the $436 million gift that Habitat for Humanity International and 84 Habitat affiliates in the U.S. have received from MacKenzie Scott. Learn more in our press release. https://t.co/UFfXZ03DWi
Inflation affects nonprofits like @Habitat_org affiliates who serve their communities. To moderate inflation, says @JReckford, we need to increase the housing supply.
And to increase supply, we need meaningful policies that tackle our housing shortage. 📜https://t.co/uDFJYKACEZ
Home is where the heart is. 💙🏠For #ValentinesDay2022, we're continuing our call for home affordability. Congress must invest in housing and homeownership so that everyone—no matter who they are, where they live, or how much they earn—can afford the #CostOfHome. #ShowHousingLove
