Our Impact
Habitat homeowners and their families experience a positive, wide-reaching, and permanent impact. Simply having a quiet place to do homework and a safe environment in which to play greatly benefits children. Studies show that children of homeowners are:
-
20% less likely to become teen parents
-
25% more likely to graduate from high school
-
twice as likely to graduate college
-
60% more likely to own their own homes within ten years of moving out of their parents’ household.
Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads continues to carry out our mission that was established more than 30 years ago.
