Last August, Wells Fargo joined us to unveil Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter Way in Browns Mill Village and break ground on the first 6 homes to be built on the street. A year later, in the wake of the former president's 100th birthday we came together once again to celebrate the completion of those homes! Congratulations Ebony, Jameka, Melissa, Nekeshia, Twantina, and Wyleathia! And a special thank you to Wells Fargo for the continued investment in building up your neighbors. #BuildThriveGrow #commitmenttocommunity #ah4h #buildingcommunity

About us
Atlanta Habitat for Humanity partners with working families, sponsors, and communities to build affordable, green, quality homes and to provide support services that promote successful home purchase and ownership. As one of 1,500 local affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International, Atlanta Habitat works primarily in the city of Atlanta and Fulton County to bring generous donors and hardworking volunteers together with qualified, working families. The result is dramatic, positive differences in the lives of family members and in neighborhoods. We construct quality houses that are sold to homebuyer families through no-profit, no-interest loans. Homebuyers complete 250 sweat-equity hours and other requirements, pay for their homes and all upkeep, and maintain current payments on their properties. More than 40 staff members support the efforts of over 13,000 volunteers to raise funds, qualify homeowner applicants, build houses, provide administrative support, and much more. Our extensive homeowner education program offers a wide variety of classes, 12 of which are required. With 30 years of experience fostering successful transitions from tenancy to ownership, we know the essential ingredient that fosters success is knowledge. Our four-star rating by Charity Navigator is an affirmation of our intense focus on fiscal responsibility as we work to serve more parents, grandparents, guardians, and most importantly – children. Please visit our website for more information.

I've had a few full circle moments this year, and this feature story that aired on Atlanta 69 (CBS Affiliate) celebrating President Carter's 100th birthday is one of them. I'm grateful for the opportunity to connect my life story to President Carter's legacy -- including my current role as CEO of Atlanta Habitat for Humanity. https://lnkd.in/ez5h89Uz Tune in to hear how I got my name and learn how I met him and First Lady Rosalyn Carter on a Georgia State University study abroad trip to Cuba in May 2002. #atlantahabitat #atlantaceo #jimmycarter #affordablehousing #affordablehousingatlanta #homeownership #georgiastate

In 2003, two friends had the idea to gather a group of their peers and sponsor a build. Neighbors helping neighbors is a Habitat tradition, but this group was different. This time the neighbors were all women. Now 21 years later, the Atlanta Women’s Build continues to empower women through building and uplifting women through the power of community. #futurehomeowner Kelmechia has put the first nails into her home for herself and her sons. Congratulations and happy building! 🛠️ We will see you at dedication! 🏡

Pucker up and grab a cup of ice cold lemonade! For the second year in a row, Atlanta Habitat’s youngest donors opened their lemonade stand to raise money for the mission! The small business (pun intended) raised $150 in sales and donated the proceeds to affordable housing. #buildingcommunity #buildthrivegrow #commitmenttocommunity
