Habitat for Humanity was founded on the mission to bring people together to build homes, communities and hope.
In February, the Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity officially expanded its outreach to Newton County, aiming to provide low-income families with opportunities to improve their lives through various programs.
“We started talking to people… really getting out in the community to find out what the needs were and said, ‘You know what? Habitat really needs to come out here,’”
Said Cynthia Jenkins, Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity Chief Executive Officer. With housing insecurity being a local and national issue, Jenkins and her team are working on obtaining funding to offer Habitat for Humanity's services.
