Speaking on Business: Habitat for Humanity

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Habitat for Humanity Greater Salt Lake Area helps local families build and buy affordable homes, offering the tools and support they need to achieve lasting stability, while strengthening communities and transforming lives. CEO, Carin Crowe, joins us with more.

Carin Crowe: 

Families and communities truly thrive when housing is safe, stable, and empowering — and that’s exactly what Habitat for Humanity provides. By offering a variety of programs, we address immediate needs while supporting long-term stability for families across Utah.

Our Critical Home Repair Program ensures homes remain safe and accessible, while our Service Team for Exterior Projects provides fencing repairs, yard maintenance, and other improvements that keep homes sustainable. Families gain confidence and a sense of ownership by building modest, efficient homes through sweat equity, turning them into empowered homeowners.

Habitat Cares supports individuals and families by providing essentials and volunteer opportunities that help them move toward stability. Beyond Utah, volunteers engage in Global Village builds, working alongside families abroad and learning from different communities.

Initiatives like the ReStore and the seasonal Holiday Auction allow the community to get involved, by donating, volunteering, or shopping to directly support local families in need.

Derek Miller:
