Reasons To Donate to Atlanta Habitat for Humanity
- Your gift changes lives, gives hope for the future and strengthens families in Atlanta. We sell homes to motivated, qualified, working families based on the belief that every person deserves a quality, affordable place to live.
|
- Your contribution supports our local community. We build and sell affordable houses in the City of Atlanta and Fulton County.
|
- Atlanta Habitat uses your money wisely. Approximately 85 cents of every dollar goes directly toward home building and homeowner programs and services, rather than administrative overhead.
|
- It makes good economic sense. Atlanta Habitat homebuyers offer a new base of taxpayers for the City of Atlanta.
|
- Your gift strengthens Atlanta neighborhoods. Vacant lots once overgrown and degraded with garbage are transformed into homes where children and families flourish. Atlanta Habitat works to construct houses in groups so that neighbors can work together to improve entire neighborhoods. Homeowners are active in their communities and schools.
|
- We build partnerships and community beyond the neighborhoods where we build. We bring together volunteers of diverse backgrounds to build a single home. These volunteers gain new understanding and an appreciation for others, not to mention new and lasting friendships.
