Home Depot Foundation is dedicated to creating healthy, livable communities through the integration of affordable housing built responsibly and the preservation and restoration of community trees. By supporting the building of affordable, efficient and healthy homes and the planting of community trees, the Foundation is working to increase awareness of the connection between quality affordable housing, adequate natural spaces and trees to the overall health and success of our communities.

The Foundation has invested millions of dollars in communities across the country to help our neighbors of modest means live in homes they can afford to own and maintain in the long term, that provide safe, healthy environments and conserve energy, water and other natural resources. By helping families and individuals secure dependable, quality affordable housing, the Foundation increases their chances of success in all areas of their lives and creates stable, strong communities for years to come.

Eighty percent of Americans live in urban areas. And fully 25% of our nation's tree canopy is in our parks, along tree-lined city streets and in our own backyards. The Home Depot Foundation believes that trees are an untapped resource that can be used to help cities deal with the pollution of our air and water, cool our city streets and homes, reduce crime, reduce asthma and improve our over health. We also believe that the simple act of neighbors coming together to plant trees can be the catalyst for enormous community change.
