20 years and $20 million with Habitat for Humanity
Since 2001, we’ve partnered with Habitat for Humanity International to help create safe, affordable housing solutions around the world. Today, we’re celebrating 20 years and $20 million worth of locksets donated to Habitat for Humanity, and a brand new five-year pledge kicking off this year.
Over the last two decades, Yale has provided more than 1.2 million mechanical locks and door hardware to Habitat for Humanity organizations for use in homes primarily in the United States, as well as in Mexico and the Asia Pacific region. In addition to donated equipment, hundreds of Yale employee volunteers have helped build houses alongside Habitat homeowners over the years.
We’ve been securing homes for 180 years, and it’s been our honor to build and protect homes with Habitat. We look forward to continuing to give back to and strengthen our communities by helping provide secure, affordable housing.
Julie Laird Davis, vice president of corporate and cause marketing partnerships at Habitat for Humanity International, said it well: “Home access and security is a not only a foundational part of the building process, but also a fundamental part of creating stable environments that allow families to thrive. Together we are committed to creating safer places for families to call home.”
