Around the world, 1 in 3 people wake up each day without the stability and security of a safe, affordable home. This global housing crisis affects families in every community, including right here in Kent County.
A global movement
To meet this challenge, Habitat for Humanity International has launched Let’s Open the Door, an effort designed to ignite a worldwide movement for housing access and opportunity. As Habitat for Humanity International celebrates 50 years of partnering with families and communities, we’re inviting people everywhere to take action and help open doors that have long been closed.
Let’s Open the Door shines a light on the realities families face — and the solutions that can help transform them.
Our local role
Central Delaware Habitat plays a vital part in the mission behind Let’s Open the Door. Here in Kent County, we are working every day to widen access to safe, decent, affordable housing through programs such as:
• Homeownership and Healthy Homes Repairs
• Financial Workshops with PNC
• Community-wide partnerships
Our programs echo the themes of the global campaign: removing barriers, strengthening communities, and opening the door to stability and opportunity.
Why it matters here
Families in Kent County face many of the same challenges highlighted in Let’s Open the Door. By sharing our work and connecting it to this worldwide effort, we’re helping more people understand what’s at stake — and how local solutions create lasting change.
Give.
