Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta, Inc.’s (Habitat NWMA) history is intertwined with the larger Habitat for Humanity movement. The history of Habitat for Humanity International and Habitat NWMA reflects the passion, determination, and collaborative vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
The idea for Habitat NWMA took root in the mid-1980s. In 1985, Chrys and John Street recognized the significant need for affordable housing in their communities and met with Millard Fuller, who challenged them to create an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity in Cobb County.
Steadfast in their belief that everyone deserves a decent place to live, Chrys and John distributed brochures to local churches. With the support of the community, they assembled 12 people to form a Board of Directors and on April 01, 1986, Cobb County Habitat for Humanity was officially incorporated as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Later in 2008, Cobb County Habitat for Humanity expanded to include Douglas and Paulding counties and amended the affiliate’s name to Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta.

The cost of housing instability goes beyond the monthly payment. According to "Home at What Cost?," a global report on how housing shapes safety, well-being, and life's biggest decisions (October 2026), people experiencing housing insecurity can experience negative impacts on their mental health, disrupt sleep, and make it harder to find stability in everyday life. People experiencing housing insecurity had 63% higher odds of reporting moderate to severe anxiety and 88% higher odds of reporting moderate to severe depression than people with secure housing. Home should be a place to rest, recharge, and feel secure, not another source of stress. At Habitat for Humanity Northwest Metro Atlanta, we believe everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. Because housing is more than shelter. It's a foundation for health, stability, and opportunity.

Last Thursday, our CEO Kyle Huhtanen joined Adam Brock and Russell Smith at HouseATL’s Q3 Member Convening to discuss Cobb County’s housing crisis. With average home sale prices in Cobb reaching approximately $550,000–$590,000 in mid-2026, the need for more affordable housing is clear. Chairwoman Lisa Cupid, @cobbchairwoman, kicked off the conversation by addressing restrictive regulations and the goal to produce 37,500 new housing units in Cobb County by 2035. The panel explored ways to increase housing production for people of all ages and incomes, opening the door to talk about the opportunities we are actively pursuing with city and county leadership, including the existing partnership with @brockbuilthomes to add affordable housing to mixed-income neighborhoods. These conversations are critical as we continue our mission to build homes, communities, and hope. Thank you to @houseatlnews for bringing leaders together to advance equitable housing solutions across metro Atlanta. #housingcrisis #affordablehousing #cobbcounty #HabitatforHumanity

🎉🔑 Home sweet home! Last Friday, we gathered to celebrate the dedication of Luis and Marisol’s new home, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for their family. This special day was a reminder of what is possible when a community comes together with a shared purpose. Through the support of dedicated volunteers and partners including Publix, the Cobb High School Coalition, Builders Insurance, and CCK Law, a house has become a home filled with hope, opportunity, and lasting memories. Over the past several weeks, hundreds of hands helped bring this dream to life. Every volunteer hour, donation, and act of kindness played a role in creating a safe, stable, and affordable place for Luis and Marisol and their boys to build their future. Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Congratulations, Luis and Marisol. We are so excited to celebrate this moment with you and wish you many blessings and happy years ahead in your new home! 💙🏠 #HabitatNWMA #HomeDedication #BuildingHomesCommunitiesHope #AffordableHousing

There is something powerful about watching a future homeowner pick up a marker and write a special message on the beams of their home. 🏠✍️💙 We loved watching David take part in this meaningful Habitat tradition. After the walls are raised, homeowners have the opportunity to leave their mark with words of hope, gratitude, faith, and dreams for the future. While those messages may eventually be hidden behind drywall, they remain a lasting part of the home’s story. Each handwritten note is a reminder that this house is more than lumber and nails. It represents hard work, perseverance, and the promise of a brighter future. #HabitatNWMA #HabitaforHumanity #Homeownership #AffordableHousing #HomeIsKey

Yesterday was our Affiliate Build Day, and our entire office and ReStore staff traded desks and daily tasks for paint brushes as we spent the day doing interior painting alongside future homeowner Dominique. 🏡 As we near the finish line of her home, it was incredible to see the transformation take shape. The energy was high, the teamwork was inspiring, and the result was beautiful. We are grateful to be part of her journey to her new home. 🔑 #HabitatNWMA #BuildingHomesCommunitiesHope #AffiliateBuildDay #HabitatForHumanity #Volunteer

We are excited to share that Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta has been awarded a $235K grant from @homedepotfoundation to support our Veteran Repair Program!🏠 This investment will help us continue providing critical home repairs that create safe, secure, and stable living environments for veterans and their families. In 2025, support from The Home Depot Foundation helped us complete critical home repairs for 13 veteran households, improving living conditions for 26 individuals. From roof, porch, and driveway repairs to wheelchair ramps, accessible bathrooms, insulation improvements, and weatherization upgrades, these projects addressed essential health, safety, and accessibility needs. By addressing unsafe living conditions, these repairs help reduce injuries, improve health outcomes, and preserve veterans’ independence while allowing them to remain in the homes they love. Together, we’re building stronger communities and ensuring those who served our country have a safe place to call home. Thank you, The Home Depot Foundation, for helping us continue this important work. 💙🔨 #HabitatNWMA #TheHomeDepotFoundation #VeteranRepairProgram #Veterans #CommunityImpact

🏡 What a way to wrap up Build Day 9 for Luis and Marisol’s future home! On Friday, we celebrated our final build day together with an incredible Landscape Day. Volunteers from our Ghosts crew, Master Gardeners, individual volunteers, and teams from Publix, Walmart, DeNyse, and the U.S. Navy came together to help put the finishing touches on this special project. Thanks to their hard work, pallets of sod were laid, trees and flowers were planted, mulch was spread, and the yard was transformed into a beautiful outdoor space ready to welcome Luis, Marisol, and their boys home. We were also excited and grateful to have had Maria Guzman from @fox5atlanta, join us to help share Luis and Marisol’s story and highlight the impact of Habitat, affordable homeownership, and community partnership. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and talents to help make this family’s dream a reality. Together, we’re building homes, communities, and hope. 💙🔨🌳 #habitatforhumanity #habitatnwma #affordablehousing #homeownership #volunteer

Donors. Sponsors. Board members. Community partners—these are the people that will propel us forward and continue this legacy of building homes, community, and hope for 40 years. Here’s to the next 40! #happybirthday #habitatnwma #habitatforhumanity
