AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUILT RESPONSIBLY

Through the Affordable Housing Built Responsibly grant program, The Home Depot Foundation invests millions of dollars each year in nonprofit organizations whose missions align with the Foundation's interests in supporting the production and preservation of affordable, efficient and healthy housing.

The Home Depot Foundation firmly believes that building responsibly is a form of stewardship and is simply a smart way to build quality, affordable housing. While the goals of building sustainable, affordable housing are easy to embrace — durable and quality building materials, energy and water efficiency, good indoor air quality, access to safe, healthy green spaces and better pedestrian environments — they are often more difficult to achieve in practice. That is why the Foundation partners with affordable housing developers who take a comprehensive approach to creating healthy communities through building homes responsibly and green space preservation and development.

The Foundation believes that by helping families and individuals secure dependable, healthy, affordable housing, we are increasing their chances of success in all areas of their lives and are creating stable, strong communities.
