Smoke detectors that are actually installed β and actually work.
Wiring that doesn't spark or fray.
A door that locks the way it's supposed to.
For families who've partnered with Habitat, protection isn't an upgrade β it's the baseline. Many come from homes with faulty wiring, missing detectors, or landlords who never got around to the fix.
A Habitat home means safety isn't something a family has to ask for. It's already built in. This week is National Fire Prevention Week β a good reminder to test your own detectors and make a family escape plan, wherever you live.
That's the multiplier effect of protection: a family stops bracing for the worst and starts building for the future.
