Building Broad-Based Prosperity™:

A Position Paper Calling for an Evolution of Today's Housing Policies

We were excited to announce this week the first in a series of position papers outlining our contribution to solutions to combat Central Florida’s affordable housing crisis.

We encourage you, as a proud Habitat supporter, to join us in this bold effort by reading and sharing the paper, which is available on our website.

Read & share

Let's check in with a homeowner and supporter about how Habitat has touched their lives:

Ruthie Thomas

Homeowner closing in 2022

For Ruthie Thomas, a Habitat home will bring security and peace of mind to her family. This retiree has dealt with years of price hikes while renting. She's looking forward to the stability of owning her own safe, affordable home.

Howard Abell

Supporter since 2010

Howard Abell is committed to helping others have the same opportunities he had. “If we want this world to be a better place, we have to give those opportunities to everyone,” he said.

Sharing our mission with future leaders

We were thankful to speak to the participants of Associated Builders and Contractors Central Florida Chapter's NEXGEN Leadership Training Program about Habitat for Humanity's mission. It was great to share the day with representatives of companies such as Gilbane, PCL and Mader Southeast. These companies lead the way in community engagement and social responsibility.
