World Habitat Day 2024

More than 30 years ago, the United Nations General Assembly took an important step in promoting the idea that everyone deserves a decent place to live by declaring that the first Monday in October would be World Habitat Day (WHD). This year's theme is "Resilient Urban Economies: Cities as Drivers of Growth and Recovery," exploring how a city's economy can benefit its residents.

TAHFH recognizes the basic right of everyone to adequate shelter. We understand that a decent place to live can often remove barriers to opportunity, health, and success. For low-income households, homeownership can be a catalyst to wealth building that can be passed down to generations to come.  After all, every one of us deserves the opportunity for a better future.

World Habitat Day is marked on the first Monday of October each year and runs through the entire month of October. The event is recognized by the United Nations to reflect on the state of towns and cities, and the basic right of all to adequate shelter. 

TAHFH joins World Habitat Day to rededicate ourselves to the recognition of the basic right to adequate shelter. You can too! Here's how to get involved . . .
