Housing in Delaware County - Transition

America is designed to have a housing crisis: Opinion When the federal eviction moratorium< ends on July 31, many families across the country will face the real and sudden threat of losing their homes.

Come see us at the Delhi Fair on the Square tonight!!!

Demo to start within the next few days! It feels good to finally be breaking ground on this project! We’ll be ready for volunteers for the framing of the new house mid-late July. We’ll keep ya posted!

With construction starting in July, we're looking for construction volunteers to get signed up with us now! Please email [email protected] to get more information about helping on the build site in Grand Gorge!

"Decent, affordable housing should be a basic right for everybody in this country. The reason is simple: without stable shelter, everything else falls apart"

Building the Beloved Community Habitat is working to create what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called “the Beloved Community” — we will do the work in our practices, our programs and our networks to put equity and justice at the forefront of our efforts and bring that mission to the communities in which we work.

Please note that our office is closed today in observance of Juneteenth, the day that celebrates the end of slavery in the United States of America.

Here are some informative things to read in honor of this holiday!
