Habitat World Day - Save the Date!

Today, 1.6 billion people live in inadequate shelter around the world; 1 billion of those live in slums. By 2030, it is expected that 2 billion people will live in slum communities.  The world’s housing situation is a crisis in need of attention and action.  
 

On World Habitat Day, October 3, Habitat for Humanity joins the United Nations and organizations around the world in raising awareness, educating and mobilizing individuals and communities to take action on the current global housing crisis while working together to ensure adequate housing for all.

 

In recognition of World Habitat Day and the work Habitat for Humanity has done to alleviate poverty housing, Habitat will dedicate its 500,000th home in Maai Mahiu, Kenya, and raise the walls on its 500,001st home in Paterson, New Jersey. This milestone represents 500,000 houses built, rehabbed or repaired and families served.

Now more than ever, support is needed to help Habitat for Humanity address critical housing needs in our community and around the world.  To support the work of Habitat for Humanity, visit our website and Habitat for Humanity Int’l website. 

SAVE THE DATE: This October 3, Paterson Habitat joins Habitat for Humanity volunteers, homeowners, partners and supporters around the world in recognizing World Habitat Day!
