Last month I was able to attend Habitat on the Hill virtually with 700 Habitat for Humanity affiliates. Even from 1,800 miles, we had a powerful, collective voice that called for adequate, affordable housing.

Housing is a unifying issue. Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan T.M. Reckford started the conference reminding us that housing is a nonpartisan issue: Everyone can identify with the need for a safe place to live, where they can thrive and contribute to communities that nurture all residents.
We shared ideas, listened with intent and the Habitat network conducted 400 Hill Day meetings with members of Congress and staff. While Habitat for Humanity is known for building homes, we are also strong advocates for home ownership advocating for policy solutions to advance access to safe, decent and affordable homes.

Sally and Bill Hanlon have spent more than 50 years serving as Vail’s ambassadors in a way that helped define the community as a world class ski town and showed a unique and caring style to welcoming guests and new community members to town.
