The lack of affordable housing contributes to educational instability, poor health, and decreased economic opportunities for South Carolinians. @habitatSC_org +@MidlandsHabitat were among those sharing our concerns with @SecFudge yesterday. ⬇️

It will take all of us to overcome the pandemic. Grateful to @SecFudge for speaking with housing advocates on the need to more quickly distribute rental (and mortgage) assistance, while ensuring vaccinations are easily accessible to vulnerable South Carolinians.

Spent the morning surrounded by community leaders discussing the intersection of health + housing. Thank you to @SteveBenjaminSC , @WhipClyburn, and @scdhec's Dr. Linda Bell for hosting the roundtable, led by HUD @SecFudge and @DrCameronWebb (White House COVID-19 Response Team).

Through our Home Preservation program, Habitat offers home repairs so homeowners can continue to live in safe, decent homes for years to come. Thanks to supporters like @GrierRoofing who has served more than 30 families through roof repair, homes are kept revitalized!

This weekend we will observe Juneteenth, the day in which we commemorate the end of slavery in the US. In recognition of this day, @Habitat_org has made Juneteenth a global holiday. I encourage everyone to use today and tomorrow as days of reflection and solidarity.

Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States. Habitat for Humanity Greenville is celebrating this historical Holiday with our community in Nicholtown this Saturday at 1pm-4pm. eventbrite.com/e/juneteenth-c… @Eventbrite

Thank you Advent United Methodist Church for giving so generously to Habitat. The donation of tools to the Habitat Construction Team made their day and they can't wait to use them on the build site. 🥰 Thank you for being a wonderful partner to Habitat and our homeowners ❤️

At Habitat for Humanity, we believe that the moments that families experience together at their home – both small and large – are the key to a family’s strength and stability. Help unlock a family’s future by supporting Habitat today. Habitat.org/homeisthekey #HomeIstheKey
