Atlanta Habitat for Humanity

From Hope to HOME!

Becoming an Atlanta Habitat homeowner is a JOURNEY that can take years and requires dedication and hard work. Prospective homebuyers must prove they are financially ready for homeownership through steady employment and savings; they are required to complete 17 required classes - covering topics such as financial literacy, budgeting, home maintenance and community living; they will serve 250 “sweat equity” hours volunteering on home builds or in another capacity; and finally, they will spend 8 days building their new home from the ground up. All of this hard work is a powerful testament to their commitment to building a better future for their families.

As we've heard from many homebuyers, this experience is nothing short of transformative. It gives their family the stability and security to unlock new possibilities and achieve long-term success in ways they never thought possible.

In honor of Giving Tuesday, we ask you to JOIN THE JOURNEY. Your support on this special day will help another family take the path From Hope to HOME.
