Habitat for Humanity Jackson, Tennessee Area, Inc. receives $135,250 grant from Lowe’s to support home repair projects in the Jackson area

Jackson, TN (December 15th, 2024) – Habitat for Humanity Jackson, Tennessee Area, Inc.  announced today it has received a $135,250 grant from Lowe’s to help repair 15 homes in the Jackson area.  

The funding will support Habitat Jackson’s efforts to make homes safer and healthier and create  stronger communities. With the support of the grant, older adults will receive no-cost critical  repairs to be able to safely age in their home through the Aging in Place program. This funding  comes at an urgent time when affordable housing and subsequent repairs can be impossible for  those living on a fixed income. This season, 15 homeowners will be able to maintain their  independence and remain safely in their new home as they sleep under new roofs, walk on new  floors, and stay warm with improved weather seals. 

“We are grateful for the support of Lowe’s who recognizes the need for quality products and  services to help solve the affordable housing crisis. These funds will truly better the lives of  some of our most vulnerable community members and we could not be more grateful.” –  Britton Crenshaw, HFHJTA, Grants and Operations Manager  

The funding from Lowe’s is part of a two-year, $6 million donation to Habitat for Humanity  International to support home repair and preservation efforts in owner-occupied homes. This  year, funding will enable 110 local Habitat affiliates to complete 295 projects and impact nearly  700 families across the U.S. Since 2003, Lowe’s and Habitat have worked together to help more  than 18,000 people build or improve a place to call home.
