Atlanta Habitat for Humanity

About

Atlanta Habitat for Humanity, a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, partners with working families, donors, and volunteers to build affordable, energy‑efficient homes in Atlanta and Fulton County. The organization sells these homes to qualified families through interest‑free, no‑profit loans, requiring buyers to complete 250 sweat‑equity hours and participate in a comprehensive homeowner education program that includes twelve mandatory classes. Supported by a staff of over 40 and more than 13,000 volunteers, Atlanta Habitat provides the full spectrum of services needed for successful homeownership, from fundraising and applicant qualification to construction and ongoing administrative support. Its focus on fiscal responsibility—reflected in a four‑star Charity Navigator rating—ensures that resources are directed toward creating stable, thriving neighborhoods for parents, grandparents, guardians, and children.
