Habitat for Humanity Expands Affordable Housing Efforts Nationwide

ATLANTA, GA — Habitat for Humanity, one of the most recognized nonprofit housing organizations in the United States, announced an ambitious expansion of its affordable housing initiatives. The organization plans to launch new homebuilding projects in more than 40 communities nationwide, addressing the growing demand for safe and sustainable housing for working families.

Through a mix of volunteer labor, community partnerships, and donated materials, Habitat for Humanity continues to help families achieve homeownership at a fraction of market cost. Each new project is designed to enhance neighborhood stability, support local economies, and provide long-term housing solutions.

“Access to affordable housing remains a major challenge across the country,” said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. “By expanding our footprint, we’re making sure more families have the opportunity to build and own a home that supports a brighter future.”

In addition to traditional homebuilding, Habitat will expand its repair and renovation programs to help existing homeowners maintain safe living conditions. The organization also plans to increase its collaboration with local governments and corporate partners to accelerate development timelines.

Since its founding in 1976, Habitat for Humanity has built or repaired more than 1 million homes globally, providing shelter for millions of people in need. The expansion underscores its continued mission to create strong and sustainable communities through accessible housing.
