A look inside the 状态 Farm® 与仁人家园合作 and their efforts to advocate for better, 更多经济适用房.
州立农场致力于建设更安全的建筑, stronger and better-educated communities — and that led them to a 与仁人家园合作 12年多以前.
Here's a closer look at how this successful partnership has created paths to homeownership opportunities, provided disaster relief funds to the communities that need it most and even created the opportunity for students to attend the annual 山上的栖息地 立法会议在华盛顿特区举行.
More than 2900万年 people have built or improved the place they call home with the help of Habitat for Humanity, 和800年,000 youth have engaged in Habitat organizations with help from 状态 Farm. That support extended to over 300 local Habitat organizations in 2019, and marks an 1100万美元 investment in Habitat for Humanity over the past 13 years.
This partnership is especially evident on college campuses: 18 Habitat for Humanity campus chapters were awarded 状态 Farm matching grants in 2018 — and in 2019, $164,000 in 状态 Farm grants were awarded to campus chapters and matched by $202,地方资金197.
