The work has begun in Kenya! Today marked the first day on site for our Global Village trip in Laikipia County, Kenya, where a group of 12 participants from Indianapolis, including Habitat staff, board members, Tiger Team members, and volunteers, began a week of service, learning, and partnership. Throughout the week, the team will be building alongside homeowner Peninah, a mother of two. On day one, the team got right to work, mixing and pouring the entire floor of the home. We're excited for the week ahead as the team learns more about the community, the local housing challenges, and the impact of Habitat's work around the world. Stay tuned for more updates from Kenya as we continue building, learning, and connecting through the power of home. 🏠💙 Habitat for Humanity Kenya #GlobalVillage #HabitatForHumanity #Kenya

Throughout October, our Young Professionals have been turning awareness into action through Haunted for Habitat. 👻 While highlighting the frightening housing challenges many families face on the path to homeownership, they're raising funds to sponsor a 2027 panel build. Those wall panels will become the foundation of a future Habitat home and the start of a journey toward greater stability, independence, and opportunity for a local family. There's still time to support a participating young professional and help build brighter futures through affordable homeownership. #HauntedforHabitat 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gvq9Smdn

This weekend, we cherished the opportunity to build together with faith communities from across our region during our annual Multifaith Build. Hosted by our partners at Second Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis, 121 volunteers representing 20 faith groups and denominations came together to build the wall panels for two future Habitat homes. It was inspiring to see homebuyers supporting one another and to witness each group putting their faith into action through our shared mission of affordable homeownership. Thank you to everyone who joined us for a day of service, fellowship, and impact. View the full photo gallery here: https://lnkd.in/geqbn3x6

Last week's dedication was a special celebration for neighbors Chadasi and Moawia and Ikhlass as they officially purchased their first homes and began a new chapter as homeowners. 🏡🔑 We're grateful to Carrier HVAC and the CEO leaders who participated in our CEO Build and helped make this moment possible. Their commitment and belief in our mission demonstrates what's possible when a community comes together to expand affordable homeownership opportunities. Thank you for helping build lasting impact for local families. We're proud of what we've built together. 💙 #CEOBuild

Rain or shine, we're building together! Our friends at the City of Fishers joined us for a panel build, constructing the interior and exterior walls that will soon become home for a Habitat buyer. We're always grateful for opportunities to deepen our partnerships in Hamilton County and can't wait to see what more we can accomplish together.

Building more affordable housing opportunities in Hamilton County takes community support! 🏡💙 Thank you to the Hamilton County Community Foundation for joining us at our recent Sheridan build and helping us continue building toward a future where more families can call Hamilton County home.
We had such a great day together for our annual board retreat! This week our staff & board members went out into the community to visit several local nonprofits and learn more about the work they’re doing across Hamilton County. It was a great chance to see that work up close and hear directly from the people making great things happen.
