New Home Build in Stone Mountain, GA

Thanks to a generous $125,000 "Raise the Roof" gift from Publix Super Market Charities as our lead sponsor, we’re off to a strong start. However, rising costs for materials and labor mean we still need additional support to complete this build.

Visit dekalbhabitat.org/sponsor or reach out to Scott Rawles, our Development Director, at [email protected] for details.
