Honoring President Jimmy Carter’s Legacy

As we reflect on the life of President Jimmy Carter, we remember a leader whose compassion and service have left an indelible mark on the world. His long-standing partnership with Habitat for Humanity, and his unwavering belief that everyone deserves a safe and decent place to live, continue to inspire us every day.

President Carter’s hands-on involvement in building homes and his advocacy for affordable housing have touched millions of lives. His legacy is not just in the homes built, but in the communities strengthened and the hearts he touched along the way.

Today, we honor his memory by renewing our commitment to his vision: building homes, communities, and hope. His work will continue to inspire future generations as we strive to create a world where everyone has a place to call home.

Thank you for being part of that mission.

Celebrating a New Home for Dayanna!

A special thank you goes to TitlePlus! for their generous support in helping make this dream a reality. This home is also made possible by our incredible Women+ Build initiative, which continues to empower women in our community to help others build a brighter future.
