ATLANTA (March 23, 2020)\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Habitat for Humanity International\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

CEO Jonathan Reckford issued the following statement regarding the\u00a0economic ripple effects of COVID-19:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With each passing day, we all find ourselves trying to adapt to the measures\u00a0required to combat the spread of COVID-19. In countries and cultures all\u00a0around the world, \u201cstay at home\u201d is the message of the moment. \u201cShelter in\u00a0place.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the right thing to do, and if we are all able to flatten the curve, we know\u00a0that we will have, together, saved countless lives.\u00a0But all of us at Habitat for Humanity also know that there are far too many\u00a0families for whom this isn\u2019t as straightforward as it sounds. The\u00a0uncertainty so many of us feel today, these families have felt for a\u00a0lifetime \u2014\u00a0if not generations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where for many \u201cshelter in place\u201d means figuring out logistics and adjusting\u00a0mindsets, for others it only exacerbates the conditions with which they have\u00a0struggled for so long. Houses already not healthy because of leaks or mold.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Homes already overcrowded because the only way to afford rent or save up\u00a0money is for extended family to stay together in a too-small space. Homes without easy access to a constant water supply. Spaces that shelter, but only just.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where for many \u201cstock up on what you need\u201d means a frustrating, jarring\u00a0trip through the inconveniently (and temporarily) hit-or-miss-stocked\u00a0shelves of a local market, for others it\u2019s a reminder of how close to the\u00a0financial edge they already live. Imagine that, for these families, shopping for supplies always feels this way \u2014 not because of the crowds around them\u00a0hurrying to acquire whatever they can, but because they have to make\u00a0terrible choices every day. In order to make sure the rent can be paid, which\u00a0would you choose? Filling a basket with healthy groceries. Filling a\u00a0necessary prescription. Filling the tank of your car with the fuel that allows
\nyou to do either.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When these are the choices you face, you can\u2019t win. As the economic shocks\u00a0from this crisis ripple out, these same families will be hardest hit. They\u00a0always are. For far too many, as businesses have closed and hourly workers\u00a0have lost their jobs, it has already begun.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are the families with whom we partner.\u00a0They are going to need our\u00a0hand up now more than ever. And now more than ever, our work \u2014 much\u00a0like flattening the curve \u2014 will require all of us, together. You can help us\u00a0help these families, these communities, our neighbors build back. Stronger,\u00a0in solidarity and with your support.<\/p>\n
