A little paint, fresh sod, and a whole lot of teamwork! Thank you to the Wells Fargo volunteers who worked alongside our homeowner to lay sod and tackle interior painting, helping bring their future home closer to completion. As we approach our 40th anniversary, corporate partnerships like this help us keep moving forward building homes, strengthening communities, and creating opportunities for affordable homeownership.

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

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.

We've come a long way since 1986. What began as a vision to make homeownership possible for more families has grown into 40 years of building homes, strengthening neighborhoods, and creating brighter futures across the Southern Crescent. This milestone is about the people behind the homes that were built. The volunteers who picked up a hammer. The donors who believed in the mission. The partners who opened doors. The families who never gave up. And the dedicated team that continues to carry this work forward every single day. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary leading up to Constructed Couture Fashion Show & Gala, we're launching 40 Stories—a campaign that reflects on the people, moments, milestones, and lives that have shaped Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity over the last four decades. Every story reminds us that Where Hope Has an Address, lives are transformed. Here's to honoring our past, celebrating our present, and building the future. #BuildwithSCHabitat #WhereHopeHasAnAddress #ConstructedCouture #HabitatforHumanity

Last night, we had the honor of speaking at the City of Stockbridge District 5 Town Hall presented by Mayor Pro Tem Elton Alexander. Our COO shared the story behind the two homes we've built in the City of Stockbridge and how our incredible partnership with Henry County and the City helped make homeownership a reality for two deserving families. To top it all off, we were recognized for the work Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity is doing across South Metro Atlanta. We're truly honored and grateful for the support of our partners and community. Together, we're building more than homes... we're building hope, stronger neighborhoods, and brighter futures. 🏠❤️ #SouthernCrescentHabitat #HabitatForHumanity #henrycountyga #BuildingHope

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

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.
