Voices for Home

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Salt Lake Area focuses its advocacy on ensuring housing remains a priority at every level of government.

UTAH State & Local Action

Securing resources for affordable homeownership and housing stability in our backyard:

Legislative Engagement

Standing strong at "Nonprofit Day on the Hill" and the "Rally at the Capitol" to advocate for the Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund.

Fleet Block Redevelopment

Ensuring low-to-moderate-income families are represented in downtown Salt Lake City’s 8.75-acre growth project.

VOAD Coalition

Partnering with Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster to deliver emergency shelter kits, disaster mitigation, and resilient community recovery.

Federal Advocacy: Habitat on the Hill

Our team brings the voice of Utah’s working-class families to the national stage.

  • ■ Historic Federal Policy: Proudly helped pass the ROAD Housing Act—contributing directly to passing the largest housing package in history alongside Senator John Curtis and Representative Blake Moore.
  • ■ Funding Streams: Secured critical support for HOME and CDBG grants, allowing us to acquire land despite rising costs.
  • ■ Rehabilitation Credits: Campaigned for the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act (NHIA) to close the "value gap" in distressed communities.

Global Advocacy

In March 2026, our team traveled to Kenya for a Global Village build. This international initiative is advocacy in action, highlighting the universal need for safe shelter and clean water on a global stage.

Universal Truth

Everyone needs a place to call home.
