What Unity Build Volunteers Say

"It's always a pleasure to work alongside caring people who want to make a difference in other's lives. Habitat brings both hope and shelter to so many people."

-- Todd Oldham

"The residents of New York are so incredibly diverse in its people and cultures, but we all share the need for safe affordable shelter."

-- Jim Gillespie

"Affordable housing is one of the greatest needs facing all New York City residents today - regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation. It is my hope that this partnership will promote tolerance and respect for the differences of others among everyone involved."

-- Rev. Dr. Katrina Foster

"I am proud to be a part of making a home for someone and helping them realize their own dream of home ownership during this very difficult housing market."

-- Michael Samuelian

LGBT Build Celebrates Gay Pride Month

Join our Unity Build, Celebrating Gay Pride Month!

Back by popular demand -- Habitat-NYC will host our second Unity Build, a unique opportunity for members of the LGBT community to make a difference in New York City's housing crisis.

This year, Unity Build will be on Friday, June 4, at our newest South Bronx construction site.

Our 2010 Unity build co-chairs are Jim Gillespie, Stan Ponte, Todd Oldham and David Terveen.

We take pride in the diversity of our community and invite LGBT individuals (16 and older) to be a part of this event. This will be a great opportunity to celebrate diversity, network, learn new skills and work side-by-side with our future homeowners.

Sign up now and build with Habitat-NYC on this special day. Unity Day builders also commit to raising a minimum of $500 in to help finance the construction of affordable Habitat-NYC homes. Fundraising is easy with our online program.

Don't wait to register! We can only accommodate 20 volunteers on the South Bronx site, and our builds fill up fast!
