This February, we honor the rich legacy and contributions of Black leaders, homeowners, and changemakers who have shaped our communities. Today, we continue this legacy by working alongside families of all backgrounds, breaking down barriers, and creating pathways to homeownership, stability, and hope.?Black?history?is Habitat?history—and the work we do every day is a tribute to the leaders who fought for a future where safe, affordable housing is a right for all.?

We are excited to kick off this year’s Habitat for Humanity-MidOhio Women Build just in time for International Women’s Day! Together, we’re building more than just a house—we’re creating strength, stability, and opportunity through affordable homeownership. Join us for a Women Build Week Blitz with the goal of getting the house dried in by the end of the week! No experience required. Sign up here and spread the word: https://lnkd.in/ecKbqhYB
