JYP spent the day helping Habitat for Humanity with the construction of a brand new home in Gloucester County for a family in need of affordable housing . Habitat for Humanity focuses on affordable homeownership that helps create the conditions to free families from instability, stress and fear and encourages self-reliance and confidence. 

Studies show that strong and stable households are foundational to child development and growth. With nearly 18 million U.S. households paying half or more of their income on a place to live, advocating for home affordability is more important than ever.
