Home is at the Center of it All

In a recent posting on the ShelterForce blog, Habitat for Humanity CEO Jonathan Reckford shares some recent information about the transformative power that stable housing has on lives and communities.

The “ripple effect” that he cites includes better grades and study habits for kids in families, and savings in overall health costs within communities.

Throw a pebble in a pond and watch the ripples.  Provide an affordable home and see the transformation, for a child, a family, a community.
