Habitat CEO Warns Housing Costs Are Outpacing Incomes

Habitat for Humanity International is marking 50 years of work to expand access to safe, decent and affordable housing.

Since its founding in 1976, Habitat for Humanity International has helped more than 65 million people worldwide gain access to decent housing.

At a celebratory gala marking the milestone at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Conference Centre in Port of Spain on Thursday evening, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International, Jonathan T.M. Reckford, noted that its approach brings families, volunteers, donors and other partners together to build or improve homes while also addressing the wider challenges that affect housing security.
