Habitat for Humanity has joined with former president Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter for the thirty-third annual Jimmy & Rosalyn Carter Work Project. This initiative has always been about building affordable housing in Memphis, as well as other parts of the United States. As a member of many communities all over the United States, All My Sons Moving & Storage understands the need to build and maintain strong neighborhoods like these.

These initiatives attract people of all ages and backgrounds. Earlier this week, the former president was joined by country music star Garth Brooks, who is also a long-time Habitat for Humanity member.

The project aims to build 19 new homes and restore 10 Memphis neighborhoods through painting and landscaping. Advocated call this process “beautification”. This ensures that there will be affordable housing in Memphis. The old housing and neighborhoods will be redone to attract more people to the area. Once everything looks fantastic, old neighborhoods will be ready for sale.

When it comes to affordable housing in Memphis, Habitat for Humanity CEO, Dwayne Spencer, is all about raising awareness. Spencer claims, “We remain dedicated to addressing housing disparities by both our physical actions, as well as by serving as a voice for so many who have few options to improve their housing situations.”

Though the project helps those in need who already live in Memphis, the overall economy, as well as the surrounding areas, will all benefit from the projects included in the beautification.

Habitat for Humanity is changing the company’s core values from home building to neighborhood revitalization.
