About us
Atlanta Habitat for Humanity partners with working families, sponsors, and communities to build affordable, green, quality homes and to provide support services that promote successful home purchase and ownership. As one of 1,500 local affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International, Atlanta Habitat works primarily in the city of Atlanta and Fulton County to bring generous donors and hardworking volunteers together with qualified, working families. The result is dramatic, positive differences in the lives of family members and in neighborhoods. We construct quality houses that are sold to homebuyer families through no-profit, no-interest loans. Homebuyers complete 250 sweat-equity hours and other requirements, pay for their homes and all upkeep, and maintain current payments on their properties. More than 40 staff members support the efforts of over 13,000 volunteers to raise funds, qualify homeowner applicants, build houses, provide administrative support, and much more. Our extensive homeowner education program offers a wide variety of classes, 12 of which are required. With 30 years of experience fostering successful transitions from tenancy to ownership, we know the essential ingredient that fosters success is knowledge. Our four-star rating by Charity Navigator is an affirmation of our intense focus on fiscal responsibility as we work to serve more parents, grandparents, guardians, and most importantly – children.

We are honored to be selected in the inaugural Peachtree with a Purpose charitable giving program! During Atlanta’s favorite Fourth of July tradition, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race. 10 Runners will represent Atlanta-area nonprofits to foster the spirit of giving in Atlanta and raise money for organizations making a positive impact across the city. Our runner Allison, serves the Atlanta Habitat mission as the Donor Relations Manager. For Allison, running began as an outlet for crushing grief after losing both her husband and mother in a single year. Allison began with a walk, then a jog, and eventually crossed the finish line of her first 5K. “Just like me doing something each day that I couldn't do before, many of these first-time homeowners are doing what they never thought they could achieve. I feel a deep kinship with them all.” Allison set a lofty goal of $10,000 and is more than halfway there! We ask you to make a donation today to cheer her on and help get her to that goal! Your support will have a direct impact on an Atlanta Habitat family! Donate here: https://lnkd.in/eieC-bEk Photo credit: Lauren Hubbard/Lauren Liz Photos

Today we join together to honor Juneteenth, a day to celebrate freedom, equality and resilience. This day reflects on the progress we have achieved in the pursuit of racial equity and serves as a reminder of a continuing road ahead. At Atlanta Habitat, we are driven by our passion and unwavering commitment to bridging the racial homeownership gap. Through our efforts, we strive to dismantle systemic barriers that have historically hindered Black homeownership. Donating this month will have TWICE the impact as Atlanta Habitat board member Andy Konieczka will match all donations – up to $10,000! https://lnkd.in/e_neeGMx
