While Habitat for Humanity works to partner with as many families as possible to provide decent, affordable housing, the worldwide housing crisis remains huge. To address this need, Habitat for Humanity recently began to pair its successful building efforts with advocacy around housing issues. Through advocacy, Habitat for Humanity will work to change the systems that lead to poverty housing and give even more families a place to call home. Habitat for Humanity International’s Government Relations and Advocacy department works to identify and address important advocacy issues, and involve people of all ages in this effort. Learn about Habitat’s legislative priorities Habitat for Humanity monitors legislation, programs and regulations related to housing, community development and international development which impact the provision of affordable housing. Explore Habitat’s public policy resources To support its advocacy efforts, Habitat for Humanity works to maintain an understanding of issues related to housing and poverty.
