Act! Speak! Build!

Act! Speak! Build! Week 2012

April 1st – 7th

Be a part of this international event to take ACTion, SPEAK up and BUILD change!

Every day, thousands of families around Los Angeles County are affected by housing issues.  Some families live in overcrowded conditions; others are forced to live in poor quality homes infested with insects or mold, and more.  In addition, the cost of living in Los Angeles is high and so many families are forced to pay a substantial amount of their income for housing.  These families deserve safe and affordable homes.

How you can help:
Sign up to participate in Habitat’s Act! Speak! Build! Week to help raise awareness about the need for safe, decent and affordable housing! Speaking up can help to spread the word and inspire the change needed to affect housing policies.  Together we can help families locally, nationally and internationally.

Begin by thinking of ways that you can spread the word about the need for affordable housing to your classmates, friends, family and community.  You can do something as simple as handing out information with housing statistics at lunch or as ambitious as hosting an event with an expert speaker.  All Act! Speak! Build! Week participants will be acknowledged on HFH GLA’s website and receive a certificate of appreciation upon activity completion.  Your participation can also be counted as service hours.
