For Macon Area Habitat for Humanity, 2021 marks 35 years of building homes, communities, and hope by constructing simple, decent, affordable homes. In 1986, Macon Area Habitat for Humanity was formed by a Sunday school at Northminster Presbyterian Church that had the vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. The affiliate completed its first home in 1987 and has since partnered with over 120 families in Macon-Bibb and Jones counties to provide affordable homeownership opportunities though new home construction. In 2005 the affiliate became a leader in neighborhood revitalization with work in Lynmore Estates and then added a second focus neighborhood, the historic Pleasant Hill neighborhood, in 2018. With construction of each new home, partner homeowners are able to realize the dream of homeownership and move themselves and their families into a decent, affordable, new home. 

The community can join in the celebration through an upcoming virtual event.
