A day of grassroots action to advocate for universal decent housing.

World Habitat Day is the one day set aside annually to recognize the basic right of all humanity to adequate shelter, and to encourage grassroots action toward ending poverty housing. The United Nations General Assembly declared in 1985 that the first Monday in October would be World Habitat Day.

Join Habitat for Humanity on World Habitat Day
Oct. 6, 2014, is World Habitat Day. More than 1.6 billion people around the world live in inadequate shelter. Please help Habitat for Humanity raise global awareness of the importance of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
