The Beloved Community is fair, just, and built on love. It fuels our belief that making homeownership accessible and affordable for all families is a critical component to creating the kind of future that Dr. King envisioned. As our nation marks the 40th anniversary of the federal observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity is honored to celebrate our own 40-year legacy of service with a special Beloved Community Build Day January 19, 2026.

In the spirit of Dr. King’s call to serve, we invite community members, partners, and supporters across the South Metro to join us on this meaningful day of action.

Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity builds affordable homes and completes home repairs for income-qualified families, who need a hand up, not a handout. Through education and financial literacy, families are prepared to be successful homeowners. By partnerships with volunteers and donors in Butts, Clayton, Henry, Fayette, and Newton Counties, their mission of building homes, communities and hope is possible. Since 1986, we have built, renovated and repaired more than 450 homes. For more information, please visit us at www.schabitat.org.
