Habitat for Humanity SKKC staff, volunteers, and supporters proudly joined the vibrant sea of rainbow shirts and flags as they marched alongside over 250 other groups in Seattle’s Pride Parade on Sunday, June 30. This year’s parade celebrated its 50th anniversary with the theme of NOW!
Habitat SKKC took that theme to heart with this year’s Pride Build aimed at creating inclusive communities where everyone has a safe place to live. Seventy-five volunteers contributed their labor in June’s first weeks to assure that members of the region’s LGBTQ+ community have access to safe and affordable housing.
Habitat’s annual Pride Build is designed to raise awareness of the need for affordable housing for all and its power to transform lives for the better. For Pride Build 2024, Habitat SKKC partnered with area organizations and allies to raise $16,000 in support of homeownership for LGBTQ+ families and individuals.
Habitat SKKC is dedicated to building safe, affordable, and inclusive communities for all our hard-working and marginalized neighbors across Seattle-King & Kittitas Counties. We pay special attention to groups that have historically faced systemic discrimination in accessing homeownership, ensuring their needs are prioritized by Habitat SKKC and our supporters.
