August 8, 2022
Beaches Habitat for Humanity receives two grants, totaling $112,000, from Lowe’s to improve home safety and health outcomes at the beaches.
Atlantic Beach, FL — Beaches Habitat for Humanity has received a $112,000 grant from Lowe’s to help complete 30 projects focused on Home Preservation and Aging in Place Housing Plus projects in the beaches community. The funding is part of Lowe’s partnership renewal with Habitat for Humanity that includes a donation of $2.5 million to support 100 local Habitat organizations undertaking home repair and rehab projects across the U.S.
Access to quality, affordable home repair and modification services continues to be out of reach for low to moderate-income households across the nation. With the support of this funding, Beaches Habitat will be able to further its efforts to help families at the beaches address critical health and safety issues in their homes.
Lowe’s and Habitat began their partnership in 2003. Since then, Lowe’s has supported many of the global housing nonprofit’s efforts, including the Women Build Program and Habitat’s Neighborhood Revitalization program. Lowe’s has also supported Habitat’s Cost of Home national advocacy campaign and sponsored local Habitat builds and employee volunteer days, in addition to providing affiliate grants and donated products. Lowe’s commitment through 2022 will bring the company’s total contributions to Habitat to more than $84 million.
