Take action now

Send a message to your elected officials right now.

Check out the links below. There are simple and easy ways to make a difference in the lives of families around the world who are in need of decent housing.


Ask President Obama to make housing programs a priority

In today's economic crisis, families looking for home loans are often left out in the cold. If our country makes a smart investment in vital affordable housing programs, more families will find adequate housing in these especially tough times.

   


Ask Congress to support affordable housing legislation to help the world’s poor
Today, 1 billion people live in slums, and that number is growing rapidly. The U.S. can be a leader in the fight to help reduce global poverty and improve the lives of people living in slums. Urge your legislators to support the Shelter, Land and Urban Assistance Act of 2009.

   


Tell Congress to save the National Housing Trust Fund and support the Capital Magnet Fund
The economic crisis means more families need help. Habitat for Humanity is ready to help by building homes with low-income families in need. Along with the National Housing Trust Fund, Capital Magnet Fund grants would give Habitat vital resources to build more homes― homes our partner families need.

   


We did it!
After months of hard work, the Serve America Act has passed.
This was due to the passion and hearts of Habitat for Humanity supporters like you. Habitat supporters sent more than 25,000 e-mails to Washington leaders, urging them to pass this vital legislation, which renews and strengthens national service programs. Thank you. We could not have done it without you.
