As we come together to build a world where everyone has a decent place to live, may the joy of people being themselves and being accepted fuel our actions for equity.

Around the world, people living in informal settlements face a multitude of obstacles that interlock to keep them from thriving. Through our #HomeEquals campaign, we are working with partners, governments and communities to create lasting change so that people living in informal settlements have safe and secure homes.
One example of how a resident of informal settlements is working to create positive change and transform her neighborhood is Sol.
Sol lives in Nova Vida, an informal settlement in Brazil. It has 2000 families from 14 different indigenous groups. They lack legal rights to the land where they’ve built their homes, even though part of it is an indigenous burial ground. The community, led mainly by women like Sol, has united to fight against threats of eviction and to ensure legal claims to their land as well as access to clean water, sanitation and paved streets. #HomeEquals
Through #Pride events, Habitat celebrates our LGBTQ+ homeowners, volunteers and community members, and aims to shed light on the decades of systemic discrimination that have barred LGBTQ+ families and individuals from homeownership, creating biases and inequities that exist today.
Even more than wood or concrete, Habitat for Humanity homes are made with love!
🏘️❤️
Thank you to all of you that support our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Habitat for Humanity is committed to advancing Black homeownership and helping to dismantle the systemic bias that permeates U.S. home buying, home financing and exclusionary zoning practices, #Juneteenth

Happy #FathersDay from all of us at Habitat for Humanity! Today, we celebrate the father figures around the world who work to build a better world for their families and communities.
Yesterday, @CaitlinClark22 stopped by to support Habitat for Humanity of Boone County’s wall building event, spending time with kids of future homeowners who were treated to signed jerseys and a new hoop that Clark helped build! 🏠🏀
