Habitat for Humanity

After searching several advocacy groups online, I decided to research and write about Habitat for Humanity. I did not know much about this group at first, so I had to research it for a while. I realized that Habitat for Humanity is a group that builds houses for people who are homeless or live in a very poor constructed house. This is a very important group because they can improve the health, physical safety, and security of a family. By the year 2030, the website (www.habitat.org) stated that an approximated three billion more people will need to have some sort of housing. That is about forty percent of the world’s population. If you broke this number down even further, an estimated 96,150 new units need to be built by 2030. This means that about 4,000 units need to be established every hour. These are astonishing statistics, and the sooner we start to build new, affordable units, the smaller that number will be by the year 2030.
