Home is the Key: Building Dreams with Habitat for Humanity
“There's no place like home”. We have all heard that line before. It's a line that stands the test of time because there is a truth to it. Home is safety. Home is love. Home is where we raise our families and create memories. That's why there is no place like home, and it's why having a place to call home is so important. Or as Habitat likes to say, Home is the Key. We hope that you enjoy this Home is the Key: Building Dreams with Habitat for Humanity #HomeIsTheKey post.
But what do you do if you don't have a home? What if the place where you rest your head and raise your family is anything but safe? These are real world problems, and they are ones that impact families every single day. But what if there was a way to help these families create a safe refuge for themselves; what if we could help these families find a place to call home? Well that is the goal of Habitat for Humanity.
Nearly 19 million U.S. households spend more than half of their paychecks on housing costs, creating a burden that often requires families to make difficult choices between their housing, healthcare, education and transportation.
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization that has been working in local communities across all 50 states for over 40 years. Habitat’s vision is a world where everyone has a safe, healthy place to call home. Habitat works toward this vision by empowering people. They work with hopeful homeowners, helping to building strength, stability and self-reliance. Additionally, Habitat homeowners typically work several hundred hours to help build their own homes alongside volunteers, and they pay an affordable mortgage. Habitat isn't about giving a free hand out; It's about empowering people.
Habitat's Home is the Key Campaign
Inaugurated in 2017, Habitat’s Home is the Key campaign aims to demonstrate how a decent, affordable home creates a better life for families and individuals.
How Corporations Like Nissan Make These Builds Possible
These builds wouldn't be at all possible if it weren't for these amazing sponsors. In fact, during the month of April, Nissan donated $5 every time #HomeIsTheKey was shared on social media. We attended the Nissan build day and were blown by the number of employees that showed up. It was heartwarming to also see the owner on site and working on her own house.
Other partner contributions:
Chico's FAS – Habitat will receive a $5 donation for every gift card of $25 or more sold during April and May at Chico’s, Soma and White House Black Market.
Chico's – Habitat will receive a $2 donation with every slub tee purchase during April and May.
At Home – Habitat will receive a $4.55 donation for every coaster set sold during the month of April, toward a total donation of $350,000.
Nest – Nest is partnering with Habitat by donating $250,000 and providing energy-saving technology to Habitat homeowners. Find energy-saving tips for your home at nest.com/powerproject.
O-Cedar – Habitat will receive a $1 donation for every ProMist® MAX spray mop sold by O-Cedar from April 1 – June 15.
It Takes a Village
To do the work that they do, Habitat for Humanity relies heavily on both the work of volunteers and donations from people like you and I. These homes go up quick, and they do it in a way that that is safe and professional….with volunteers doing most of the work along side the prospective homeowner. We recently attended a build here in Atlanta (thus the picts). To say that the operation was impressive would be an understatement. Nissan had a ton of people on site working the build, with all of the work being done under the watchful eyes of true pro builders.
Get Involved
We hope that you are inspired by this Home is the Key: Building Dreams with Habitat for Humanity #HomeIsTheKeyGetting involved with Habitat is easy. If you are able bodied and over 16, they can put you to work.
Everything from painting to framing needs to be done, and all of the work that you do is supervised by professional builders.
If you are not able to physically help or simply don't have the time, there are other ways to make an impact. Consider a donation, as every single cent makes a difference in another person's life.

I know first hand the social impact of Habitat for humanity for those who need a helping hand. Several years ago, someone from my family had volunteers come and do work on their house free of charge. It was a life changing experience that they would not have been able to afford otherwise. HFH operates in the same way.
Such a great organization. They have done so much for so many people. Changing lives every single day.
Great write up. I’ve heard a lot of good things about habitat for humanity and all the wonderful things that they do for the community.
It’s so great that organizations like this make it possible for families to have affordable housing and build the local community.
