The Home Depot Foundation recently renewed its long-standing partnership with Habitat for Humanity with a $2.5 million donation to support the nonprofit housing organization’s efforts. Since 2011, The Home Depot Foundation has contributed more than $28 million to help veterans and their families improve or build an affordable place to call home.

This year also marks the 10th anniversary of Habitat’s Repair Corps, a national program funded by The Home Depot Foundation to conduct critical repairs of military veterans’ homes. The program has served more than 1,400 veterans across the U.S. since it launched in 2011. In addition to Repair Corps, The Home Depot’s associate volunteer force, known as Team Depot, partners with local Habitat organizations across the country to build alongside veteran homeowners.

“We are grateful to The Home Depot Foundation for their continued support and for their commitment to ensuring that U.S. military veterans and their families have a safe place to call home,” said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. “With their investment, we can work alongside more families to improve their housing conditions and create opportunities for stability and independence.”

The Home Depot Foundation was the premier sponsor of the 2021 Habitat on the Hill legislative conference, an annual opportunity for Habitat homeowners, staff and advocates to meet with Congressional representatives in Washington and address the policies and systems that hinder access to safe and affordable housing. The Foundation has also provided grants to local Habitat organizations across the country for disaster recovery.

“We are proud of our long-standing partnership with Habitat to ensure our veterans have access to safe and affordable housing. The Home Depot Foundation is deeply committed to supporting the housing needs of our military veterans and their families,” said Shannon Gerber, executive director of The Home Depot Foundation. “In the year ahead, we look forward to continuing to work alongside Habitat to complete critical home repairs for veterans in communities across the nation.”
