together, home is possible
Mark your calendars — Monday, October 6 is Habitat Philadelphia’s 4th Annual Day of Giving, and this year, the need is more urgent than ever.
Rising repair costs and federal funding cuts mean too many families are left with unsafe stairs, failing roofs and homes that can’t weather the future.
On October 6 (World Habitat Day), you can help bridge the critical gap in our Home Repairs program — funding work that goes beyond the bare minimum to keep families safe, stable and secure for years to come.

Health and Home Repairs
Health starts in the home. Poor home conditions—such as lead and mold exposure, water leakage and bad air quality—are directly tied to residents’ poor health outcomes.
Habitat Philadelphia has placed renewed emphasis on improving health through housing as we expand our home repair program in extent and scope. In fiscal year 2025, our team completed a record 150 home repairs, bringing the all-time total to more than 1,100. Now, we’re introducing health assessments for every repair we perform to better understand the holistic impact of home repairs for homeowners. Learn more.
