Warren Technical students are back on site with us for the new school year! Through hands-on work-based learning, Warren Tech students build valuable career, life, and employability skills while serving their community. This week, they’re helping us begin demolition on a rotted back deck for a local veteran through our Aging in Place program. Check back next week as we begin rebuilding the deck together!

We are honored to receive an award at Congressman Hank Johnson’s fourth annual Week of H.O.P.E. ceremony. Thank you, Congressman Johnson, for recognizing Habitat for Humanity DeKalb and for highlighting the organizations working to create stronger, more vibrant communities. Through affordable homeownership, critical home repairs, and housing education, we help families find more than a place to live. We help create a foundation for strength, stability, and a brighter future. We are deeply grateful to be among the organizations turning hope into action across Georgia’s Fourth Congressional District. This recognition encourages us to keep building homes, opening doors to opportunity, and helping families and neighborhoods thrive throughout DeKalb County.

We were thrilled to welcome the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta back to Habitat for Humanity DeKalb! After having such a meaningful and enjoyable volunteer experience with us last year, their team shared great feedback and was excited to return and continue supporting our mission. During today’s build, their employees helped paint the exterior walls of a new home and began working on the back deck, making important progress toward creating a safe place for a local family to call home. Their willingness to stay engaged with Habitat and bring more employees together for volunteer opportunities, like their August Mission Month, reflects the lasting impact of a strong community partnership. Thank you to our first group from FDHLBA for showing up, working hard, and helping build brighter futures in DeKalb County 🏠💙

When you donate a vehicle to Cars for Homes, the proceeds can support funding for programs like Aging in Place, Habitat for Humanity’s initiative that helps older adults remain in their homes by providing critical repairs, accessibility modifications, and connections to community resources that aid in sustaining healthy, independent living. We know that when seniors can age safely at home, they’re more likely to stay connected to loved ones, maintain their health, and enjoy a higher quality of life. 🔗 https://dekalbhabitat.org/donate-a-car

What does “home” mean? For the families in our Playhouse Olympics, it means safety, stability, creativity — and a place to just be. These playhouses aren’t just for play… they’re spaces where imagination, joy, and memories begin. 💛 #BlueJeansBBQBlueprints #BBB2026 #PlayhouseOlympics #HabitatDeKalb #HomeMatters
