Advancing Black Homeownership (ABH) Program Manager

Since our founding in 1976, Habitat for Humanity has grown into an international organization promoting decent and affordable housing for all. We found our earliest inspirations as a grassroots movement on a racially integrated farm founded in the 1940s, and we continue to be guided by this inspiration and our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

We also know that a system of intentional and systemic racial discrimination has prevented many Black American households from owning homes, and the Black homeownership rate in the U.S. is now the lowest of any racial or ethnic group. With the development of the Advancing Black Homeownership initiative, Habitat seeks to ensure Black households have equitable access to successful homeownership.

As the racial homeownership gap has grown, we have responded with a stronger voice through advocacy, programmatic strategy and partnerships.

The Advancing Black Homeownership (ABH) Program Manager at Habitat for Humanity of Bulloch County is responsible for supporting the development of an organizational 3-year Advancing Black Homeownership strategic plan, in collaboration with other affiliates and Habitat for Humanity
