Habitat Voices in Action

Let’s make housing in the U.S. more affordable and accessible for all. Join us through Habitat Voices in Action as we work together for affordable homeownership. Owning a home is the key to building stability and wealth. Yet, with skyrocketing home prices, millions of Americans are locked out of the dream of homeownership. 

We advocate to:

  • Increase the supply of homes for low- and moderate-income homebuyers.
  • Expand access to homeownership for people of all backgrounds.
  • Keep homes affordable and livable long term, ensuring homeowner resilience.
