Take one minute and ask Congress to support Habitat affilaites across the nation. Decisions
about budget cuts always weigh heavily on our policymakers, but it is up to us to let them
know what matters in their jurisdictions. Educate your legislators about what is important in
your neighborhood and ask them to support Habitat's mission and invest in your community.
