Austin Habitat Selected To Participate in New National Neighborhood Initiative
Habitat for Humanity International has selected Austin Habitat to participate in the first phase of its ambitious new Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative. The initiative encourages Habitat affiliates to serve more families by expanding their programs beyond new home construction.
Throughout the last 10 years, Austin Habitat has built on our mission to include home repair and homeowner education, and most recently became a HUD-certified Housing Counseling Agency, enabling us to offer our extensive home ownership, financial literacy and foreclosure prevention opportunities to the general public.
Our mission: to end
the cycle of poverty housing through the power of home ownership. It may be simple, but it's power is shown through the tremendous change being made in neighborhoods across Austin.
We look forward to participating in this exciting initiative!
