World Habitat Day
The United Nations has designated the first Monday of every October World Habitat Day to call attention to the current global state of the human habitat. This October's World Habitat Day holds special significance to the Habitat mission around the world as we collectively celebrate serving 500,000 families worldwide.
Habitat East Bay plans to bring awareness to the campaign through a fun event in San Francisco's Union Square to bring awareness to the Bay Area about the lack of safe, decent affordable housing. Keep your eyes open for more details as the day approaches.
The Purpose of World Habitat Day
- To call attention to the current global state of the human habitat.
- To push toward adequate housing for all.
- To dismantle and alter the systems that reinforce and entrench poverty housing.
- To make an affordable, decent place to live a reality for all.
