Habitat responds to the George Floyd tragedy.

Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan Reckford and Adrienne Goolsby, Senior Vice President U.S. and Canada, co-authored a letter to the Habitat community saying in part:

“The way we approach our work at Habitat has been a vehicle for reconciliation and has broken down barriers between people. We work alongside those willing to partner with us, no matter their background or walk of life, and that will always be true. Habitat can be a vehicle for reconciliation. But it only happens if we make it so.

 

Habitat is more than a housing nonprofit. It’s a vision of a world where we share one humanity. Habitat for Humanity was born on a farm in South Georgia on the theory of racial inclusivity, at a time when inclusivity was seen by some as an existential threat. It’s a vision of a world we still believe in and fight to build every day.”

For over 30 years, Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut has been working in the communities of eastern Connecticut to fulfill this mission. Please help us share that vision.

Help us improve all the lives of the individuals and communities we serve.
