In this milestone year marking Habitat for Humanity’s 50th anniversary, thousands of volunteers, partners and Habitat homeowners came together to honor the legacy of former President Jimmy Carter and First Lady Rosalynn Carter by carrying forward the work they championed for decades – opening doors to affordable homeownership and opportunity.
Several of the homes built during the 1988 Carter Work Project in Atlanta, Georgia. Volunteers built 20 homes in Atlanta and renovated another 10 housing units in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
