Congress must rise to this moment to support meaningful, bipartisan housing legislation. When the HOME Reform Act passes, Habitat will be ready to build.

Today I joined @USRepMikeFlood, @repcleaver & housing leaders in support of the bipartisan HOME Reform Act. This bill cuts red tape, strengthens HOME, and expands access to homeownership. A true model of bipartisanship—thank you Reps. Flood & Cleaver.

We will continue to honor President and Mrs. Carter by advancing the vision they championed for decades – that everyone deserves a safe and decent place to call home. See you in Atlanta for the 2026 #CarterWorkProject!

A special thank you to our dedicated volunteers, staff, homeowners and generous partners who came together to build homes, community and hope. Your service reminds us that the Carters’ legacy lives on in not only the homes we build, but in those we build alongside.

The 2025 #CarterWorkProject with @AustinHabitat has come to an end, and what an extraordinary week it was building 25 affordable homes. Though this was the first project since President Carter’s passing, his spirit was felt in every nail hammered and every wall raised.

Tomorrow, we’re excited to put on our hardhats and get back to work, in true Carter fashion, on the build site with @AustinHabitat and thousands of volunteers to honor their lifelong commitment to creating a world where everyone has a safe, decent place to call home!

The Jimmy & Rosalynn #CarterWorkProject kicked off with our opening ceremony tonight at the Texas State History Museum in Austin, TX. It’s the first since President Carter’s passing and the weight of his and Mrs. Carter’s legacy could be felt in the room.

It was great to be in San Francisco earlier this week for @wef's Urban Transformation Summit as I had the honor of moderating the Pioneering Places initiative launch. We're excited for the impact this program will have on shaping more sustainable and inclusive cities!
Today marks the launch of Pioneering Places, a new programme of the Davos Baukultur Alliance, in collaboration with @KPMG. It recognizes six #cities – from Kuala Lumpur to Utrecht – for their work on accelerating #innovative approaches to urban transformation. Learn more about

I so admired Dr. Jane Goodall's sustained commitment to making the world better. We agreed that we need a Habitat for Humanity and our animal friends. Rest in peace, Jane.

Happy heavenly birthday to Habitat Humanitarian President Carter. His lifetime of service to creating a better world was an inspiration of mine and his legacy will continue on through the #CarterWorkProject and every person helped through the security of a decent place to live.

Great conversation with @willywalk on the Walker Webcast! Thank you for the opportunity to discuss my career journey, Habitat's work and affordable housing solutions.
Can modular housing ever deliver on its promise of affordable, scalable construction? Watch this episode of the #WalkerWebcast as @willywalk and @JReckford break down why #modularhousing may still be a solution for scaling innovation in #homebuilding. https://t.co/2unk3XSrTf
