Habitat for Humanity of Wake County

Urgent Action Alert: Protect AmeriCorps!

Urgent Action Alert: Protect AmeriCorps! Call your Congressional offices today and urge them to support continued funding and staffing for the AmeriCorps program. AmeriCorps has placed a majority of its employees on administrative leave, and is planning to terminate these employees after April 30. Habitat is concerned that a significant permanent reduction in staff could impact the administration of those programs. Habitat Wake’s AmeriCorps alumni have contributed over 250,000 hours of service to our mission of ensuring everyone has an affordable home. Find a call script and contact information for your Members of Congress.

40 Years of Building Together
