Home Repair
Albert & Julia
Their home is a cherished space filled with decades of memories. Married for over 40 years, they’ve lived in the same house since 1985, raising children, welcoming grandchildren, and now watching great-grandchildren grow.
Albert, an Army veteran and retired electrical engineer, once handled home repairs himself. But as time passed, maintaining their home on a fixed income became difficult. When rotting fascia boards and other safety concerns arose, the couple knew they needed help.
That’s when Albert turned to Habitat for Humanity DeKalb. Thanks to the support of donors and volunteers, their home received much-needed repairs, including:
✔️ New gutter spouts to prevent foundation damage.
✔️ Rebuilt deck steps for safer access.
✔️ Grab bars in the bathroom to reduce fall risks.
Now, Albert and Julia can continue living safely in the home they love. Their story is a testament to how small repairs make a big difference.

Home Build
Stone Mountain
Exciting news! Habitat for Humanity DeKalb is building a new home for a deserving family in Stone Mountain, GA. After the original home burned down years ago, zoning changes prevented rebuilding—until now. Thanks to the Stone Mountain City Council approving our variance request, we plan to break ground in March!
We’re also thrilled to announce Publix Super Market Charities as the lead sponsor, contributing a $125,000 ‘Raise the Roof’ gift to help make this home a reality. While this generous gift lays the foundation, rising costs mean we still need additional support. Every donation helps create a safe, stable home for a family in need.
