Habitat for Humanity of Greater Memphis

Earlier this month, Memphis Habitat joined Habitat for Humanity leaders from across the country at Habitat on the Hill in Washington, D.C.! ??? Our team had the opportunity to advocate for policies that support homeownership, engaging in productive discussions with Congressman Steve Cohen, Congressman David Kustoff, and staff from Senator Marsha Blackburn’s and Senator Bill Hagerty’s offices. These conversations reaffirm that affordable homeownership isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a community issue that affects us all. ???? #HabitatOnTheHill #AffordableHomeownership #AdvocacyMatters
