A DeKalb County where everyone has a home that provides the strength, stability and independence that families need.

What's Happening

New Home Build

Stone Mountain has approved our variance request to build a home for a family! 🏠✨

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.


Want to be part of this life-changing project? Visit dekalbhabitat.org/sponsor or reach out to Scott Rawles, our Development Director, at [email protected] for details. Let’s build hope together! 💙🔨
