The Florida Housing Coalition joins the nation in mourning the passing of President Jimmy Carter, a tireless advocate for affordable housing and a beacon of compassion and service. Through his lifelong dedication to Habitat for Humanity, President Carter demonstrated the power of community and the belief that everyone deserves a safe, decent, and affordable place to call home. His efforts not only transformed lives but also inspired countless others to take action in addressing housing challenges across the globe. His legacy deeply aligns with our mission and continues to guide and inspire our work. Thank you, President Carter, for showing us that housing is more than a structure—it’s a foundation for stability, dignity, and opportunity. Rest in peace, and may your enduring legacy continue to ignite positive change. #JimmyCarter #AffordableHousing #HabitatForHumanity #HousingMatters #HousingFloridians
