Today, one in six families pay half or more of their income on their rent or mortgage, often choosing between paying for housing or nutritious food, reliable transportation or healthcare needs. That is unacceptable. Your home shouldn’t cost you anywhere near half your paycheck. Home shouldn’t cost you your health or your children's education.
​
When the cost of home is your family’s future, the cost is too high. When the cost of home is any family’s future, that’s something none of us can afford. 
WHAT IS COST OF HOME?
Through the Cost of Home advocacy campaign, Habitat for Humanity will mobilize local Habitat organizations, partners, volunteers and community members across the country to find solutions and help create policies that will allow 10 million individuals to have access to affordable homes.
The Cost of Home campaign is increasing home affordability by influencing policies focused on:
Picture
Increasing supply and preservation of affordable homes
We support policies that increase the production, preservation and accessibility of homes that are affordable for lower-income households.
Picture
Equitably increasing access to credit
We support policies that increase and broaden access to safe and sound credit for underserved populations.
Picture
Ensuring access to and development of communities of opportunity
We support policies related to land acquisition, use and development that bring down the cost of building, promote fair housing, and fully reflect community needs.
Picture
Optimizing land use for affordable homes
We support policies that protect and strengthen neighborhoods and enable communities to thrive.

SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN
​We need your help to launch Cost of Home in our area! Here’s what you can do to help make the Cost of Home something we all can afford: 
  • Stop by our office and take a picture with our Cost of Home square!
  • Share on your social media pages that you support the Cost of Home!​ Use #CostOfHome and tag us @Habitatpgw!
  • Volunteer! We need volunteers to help organize letters and postcards to local legislators urging them to support policies that improve housing affordability!
  • Take the Cost of Home pledge!
  • Learn Even More about Cost of Home and policies we support in Virginia here!
