You have the power to change lives.

Access to land lies at the heart of ending poverty – without land, there can be no housing and housing is the key to stability and opportunity.
By using your voice to improve access to safe and secure land, you can help create the foundation for better housing.

Good news – we are already making change happen.

Solid Ground is improving the way people access land globally to ensure that more people have a decent home.

Everyday Effects

Secure tenure is invisible, yet you know when you don’t have it. Living without the right to the land you occupy means that, tomorrow, you could wake up homeless. What will you do?

Change Has Begun.

An introduction to Solid Ground with Jonathan Reckford

The key to ending poverty is right under your feet: land. The lack of access to land lies at the heart of poverty, as without land, people are deprived of the most basic physical, economic and psychological security of adequate shelter. In this video, Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan Reckford announces that Solid Ground, Habitat’s first global advocacy campaign, is taking on the issue of access to land for shelter.

We've come a long way,
but there's much more to do.

Habitat for Humanity, our partners, and people like you have already helped millions of people access decent housing through changing land policies and systems.
But we haven’t realized our vision of a world where everyone – and we mean everyone – has a decent place to live. Yet. This is where you come in.
