"If people can be taught to hate, they can be taught to love." — Dr. Opal Lee

Dr. Opal Lee calls herself the Grandmother of Juneteenth. We call her an inspiration.

Dr. Opal Lee spent decades fighting to make Juneteenth a national holiday. Starting at age 89, she walked 2.5 miles every year to symbolize the 2.5 years it took for enslaved people in Texas to learn they were free. In 2021, at 94, she presided over the ceremony where Juneteenth was signed into federal law.

Dr. Lee is also a reminder that building a more equitable world takes showing up — year after year, mile after mile. Let’s remember to show up for one another.

Donating your car to Habitat Capital District is an easy way to support our work and get rid of an old car. It doesn't even need to run.

We will tow it for free as long as it has four inflated tires on it.

A starter home is more than a first step. It's the foundation you build everything else on.

Stability for your family. Roots in your community. And something to pass forward to the next generation.

Habitat is opening the door to starter homes for families in our community by providing affordable mortgages.

Your home shouldn’t be a burden on your family’s future. It should be the foundation for your future.

A lot of people don’t see themselves as a Habitat homebuyer. You might want to take another look.

Habitat's homeownership program is designed for folks looking to purchase a starter home.

Our buyers have a steady income but haven't been able to get a foot in the door of the traditional home buying market. Many of our buyers are nurses, police, teachers, first responders and more.

If you live or work in Albany County and Rensselaer County and have been told homeownership isn't an option, it's worth a conversation.

Inclusionary zoning in Albany will completely change how our community can address the housing crisis.

Policies at the local, state, and federal levels have a BIG impact on what we can accomplish in our community. That's why Habitat Capital District advocates alongside community partners, community members, other Habitat affiliates, and individuals like you!

When policies change, they impact our local communities. Our community can't afford to stay silent. 💙

Curious about homeownership? Join us for a virtual Homebuyer Information Session on June 17 at 2 PM.

We'll walk you through what it takes to become a Habitat homeowner and answer your questions, including:

✅ What are the program requirements?
✅ How does the application process work?
✅ What can I do now to prepare?
✅ When can I apply?

Afterwards, we'll add you to our list so you're the first to know when applications open.

This session is open to anyone curious about the program. Attending doesn't affect how applications are reviewed — it's simply a chance to learn more and see if homeownership with Habitat is the right path for you.

Building green isn't a luxury upgrade—it's smart construction that saves families money every single month.

We’re building energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable homes because affordability and sustainability go hand in hand:

🌿 Energy-efficient appliances and systems that drastically cut utility bills
🏠 High-performance insulation that keeps homes comfortable year-round
♻️ Sustainable building materials that reduce environmental impact
💨 Smart ventilation systems that improve indoor air quality

Lower energy costs mean more affordable. Sustainable building means homes that last. 💪
