The Challenge

Around the world, 1 in 3 people wake up each day without the stability and security of a safe, affordable home. This global housing crisis affects families in every community — including right here in Houston.

A Global Movement

To meet this challenge, Habitat for Humanity is launching Let’s Open the Door, an effort designed to ignite a worldwide movement for housing access and opportunity. As we celebrate 50 years of partnering with families and communities, we’re inviting people everywhere to take action and help open doors that have long been closed.

Through hands-on builds, compelling new research, pop-up experiences in select cities, and storytelling that elevates lived experience, Let’s Open the Door shines a light on the realities families face — and the solutions that can help transform them.

Why it Matters Here

Families in Houston face many of the same challenges highlighted in Let’s Open the Door. By sharing our work and connecting it to this worldwide effort, we’re helping more people understand what’s at stake — and how local solutions create lasting change.
