About us
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia. The Christian housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in more than 70 countries. Families and individuals in need of a hand up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Through financial support, volunteering or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves. Through shelter, we empower. To learn more, visit habitat.org.

As a partner, Realtor.com employees recently volunteered on Habitat for Humanity build sites in Texas and Arizona. Rebecca Faries, Customer Care Lead, Email/Chat Support in Realtor.com’s Scottsdale office commented about the experience: “It was truly special to step out of our usual roles and work side by side on something so impactful. One of the most memorable moments was meeting the future homeowner. We felt connected not just to each other but to the wider community.” Learn more about these builds and our ongoing partnership.

Without equitable access to affordable credit and investment capital, people living in low-income communities often face barriers to quality housing, education, health care, jobs and other essential services. Community development financial institutions, or CDFIs, can reduce those barriers by unlocking access to basic financial services for those traditionally excluded by mainstream financial systems. Did you know that Habitat for Humanity has our own CDFI? Learn more about what they are and why they matter. https://lnkd.in/dY8UvYyU
