Habitat for Humanity International and 84 of its affiliates will be able to continue their vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live as a result of the donation.

The donation will be used to increase the supply of affordable housing over the next three to four years.

Grants for its affiliates, research efforts to preserve home affordability and the nonprofit's global work will be supported by additional funding.

The gift will have a multi-generational impact on communities around the U.S. and Habitat for Humanity's global mission for years to come.
