Just two weeks after celebrating our 40th anniversary, we are thrilled to announce that we are about to officially close on our 235th home! This exciting milestone marks home number 3 out of 13 in our ambitious Baker’s Dozen journey! Every key handed over brings us one step closer to ensuring more local families have a safe, affordable, and permanent place to call home. The work we do is truly transforming lives, generations, and whole communities. Thank you to our incredible donors, sponsors, volunteers, and partner families for helping us keep the momentum going! #schfh40 #wherehopehasanaddress #buildwithschabitat #habitatforhumanity

We remember. We honor. We build hope. September 11 will forever hold a profound place in our nation’s history. We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed and the first responders who ran toward danger to help others. Those who paid the ultimate price remind us that courage, compassion and service can carry a community through even its darkest moments. That is why we chose to commemorate this day through service. Over the course of two days, first responders, emergency personnel and community members gathered in McDonough for our Building Hope 9/11 Day of Remembrance. They rolled up their sleeves, helped build a home and moved our mission of affordable homeownership forward. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our event sponsors @behrpaint @axordesign @hansgrohe_usa , for their commitment to building up the communities they serve. We could not have brought these meaningful days of remembrance and service to life without their partnership and support. To every volunteer who showed up ready to work, serve and honor, we thank you. This is what it looks like when remembrance becomes action and a community comes together to build hope. More photos can be found on our Facebook Page. #buildinghope #buildwithschabitat #habitatforhumanity #schfh40 #911memorial

What an amazing surprise! We're still reflecting on the grace of God via @southerngracehospice that happened last month during our Home Blessings in Stockbridge. Our Henry County Women Build Ambassador, @therealaubreyrain decided she wanted to extend her efforts even further by fully furnishing both home! She also held a photoshoot with the families prior to the blessing so that they would have photos already in the home! (That was a hard task to pull off!) There wasn't a dry eye in sight as they walked into their beautiful homes realizing their furnishing had been handled. We cannot thank Aubrey and her team enough for their heart work in enhancing the homeowner experience for our hardworking homebuyers. #buildwithschabitat #habitatforhumanity #southerngracehospice #housingaffordability #stockbridgega

One family. Two homes. A generational blessing. Yesterday, we had the honor of celebrating a very special double home blessing for mother-and-daughter duo, Patrice and Tiffiany, who once lived under the same roof and are now stepping into homeownership as next-door neighbors. Tiffiany began her journey with Southern Crescent Habitat first, and as Patrice came alongside her to help complete sweat equity hours, she began to imagine a path to homeownership of her own. With encouragement from her daughter, Patrice applied to the program and now, they both stand proudly as first-time homeowners. And the impact didn’t stop there. Along the way, Tiffiany’s son, Kam, discovered a genuine love for construction while spending time on the build sites so much so that our construction team and the Grey Ghosts are already talking about recruiting him! Their journey is a beautiful reminder that homeownership can open doors far beyond the front porch. It can inspire new dreams, uncover new passions, create stability, and build pathways for generations to come. We are incredibly proud of Patrice, Tiffiany, and their entire family, and grateful to have played a role in this family’s story. This is what it looks like when hope has an address...twice, right next door.

Our Women Build Wrap Party was a huge success! The 2026 Women Build season had record breaking numbers! We had close to 200 volunteers across 5 counties and raised over $50,000! We wanted to celebrate these ladies in a remarkable way and what better day to do it than on August 18th, First Lady Rosalynn Carter's birthday! She and President Jimmy Carter were pioneers of our mission and we are forever grateful for their contributions. Many thanks to our long time supporter Michelle Amarra with @scbtvatl for lending us her beautiful space! If you want to get involved with Women Build 2027, send an email to development@schabitat.org today!

It's our anniversary!!! Today Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity celebrates 40 years of building hope and the people who help give it an address. Behind every home, every milestone, and every family served is a team committed to moving our mission forward. Today’s faces carry a legacy built by four decades of staff, donors, volunteers, homeowners, and community partners. Thank you for being part of our ever evolving story and today we are taking you along as we enter the next chapter!

Yesterday we had a DOUBLE Home Blessing Ceremony in our Hannah Springs Community! We have officially closed out the cul-de-sac in our 28 home subdivision and have only 5 lots left to complete! It was a great day of celebration and acknowledgement. We were blessed to be joined by some special guests. The family of the Late Congressman David Scott were in attendance as we gifted them with a commemorative hard hat in his honor. Congressman Scott along with Senators Ossoff and Warnock are responsible for the CDS funds that were utilized on these new construction builds. We were also joined by a representative from Publix Supermarkets. The @publix Supermarkets Charities also provided funding for these homes and they also were our 2026 Volunteer Group of the Year. We would like to thank all of the volunteers, donors, and supporters that enable us to continue building communities, homes, and hope.

The runway was unforgettable. The people who made it happen? Exceptional. Our hearts are full as we thank the incredible partners who brought Constructed Couture to life in support of our 40th Anniversary. To Atlanta Sustainable Fashion Week, thank you for producing a fashion show that brought creativity, sustainability, and our mission together on the runway. Our host, Francesca Amiker, brought the energy and charisma that kept the evening moving. And our outstanding judges, Renee Hill, Octavius Terry, Elizabeth Dixon, Ansley Dixon, and Damacia Howard brought expertise, personality, and so much heart to the experience! Our generous sponsors: Coweta-Fayette EMC, Andersen Windows, Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, M-Con, Kaiser Permanente, Bank OZK, and Georgia Power. Thank you for believing in this vision and investing in the families we serve. Stay tuned to see our highlights of even more hands that helped us build more hope. #ConstructedCouture #Buildwithschabitat #WhereHopeHasAnAddress #Atlsfw
