Even before the coronavirus pandemic, more than 18 million U.S. households were paying half or more of their income on a place to live.

Now, as the significant economic impacts of COVID-19 continue to unfold, the number of families struggling to make ends meet is only growing. Every family deserves the chance to thrive. Help us make that possible.

Join us in helping to ensure that families – no matter who they are, where they live or how much they earn – have access to a stable, affordable place to call home.

What Habitat does is much more than just sheltering people. It’s what it does for people on the inside. It’s that intangible quality of hope. Many people without decent housing consider themselves life’s losers. This is the first victory they may have ever had. And it changes them. We see Habitat homeowners go back to school and get their GEDs, enter college, do all kinds of things they never believed they could do before they moved into their house. By their own initiative, through their own pride and hope, they change. (Millard Fuller, Co-Founder of Habitat for Humanity)

Call on your members of Congress to prioritize the needs of low-income families and the organizations that work hard to serve them during the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, we can help make the #CostOfHome something we all can afford.
