What is World Habitat Day?
World Habitat Day is an annual event organized by Habitat for Humanity. It was established over 30 years ago, following an important decision by the United Nations General Assembly to recognize the fundamental right of every individual to have a safe and comfortable place to call home. As such, the first Monday in October is now celebrated as World Habitat Day.
Every year, Habitat for Humanity joins our partners around the world to rededicate ourselves to recognizing the basic right of everyone to adequate shelter. Habitat for Humanity asks everyone to join together as one global network in communicating the message that every one of us deserves the opportunity for a better future, and that a decent place to live can remove barriers to opportunity, health and success that might have been part of a family’s life for years, and in many cases for generations.
Join us for World Habitat Day and year round by lifting your voice to help people in need of decent and affordable housing. Learn how you can take action in the United States through our Cost of Home advocacy campaign.
