Housing 4 Housing

Housing 4 Housing is University Housing’s departmental philanthropy group. Since 2001 Housing residents and staff have pooled efforts and resources to sponsor funding and construction of homes for members of the Athens community through collaboration with Athens Area Habitat for Humanity.

 

First Home

Sponsorship of Housing 4 Housing’s first home took place over a five year period, with residents and staff raising in excess of $60,000 through activities such as gift wrapping at a local bookstore, penny drives, a “Couch-A-Thon” and sales of commemorative bricks. Housing 4 Housing teammates also worked on the actual construction of the home for Athens resident Chynitra Brown and her daughter.
