Director of Global Social Impact Molly Ernst-Alper recently sat down with Habitat for Humanity International’s Antwann Yocum, Senior Corporate Development Officer, for a conversation about the role each of us can play in creating a world where everyone has a decent place to call home.
Our conversation begins with Yocum putting Habitat’s mission into perspective and how the incredible task of safe, affordable housing for all can only be achieved through collaborations like this one with James Hardie.
In 2023, James Hardie began sponsoring the ‘Habitat Strong’ program, which focuses on creating disaster-resilient and energy-efficient homes through stronger construction standards, upgraded materials, and innovative designs. Our durable products help contribute to more resilient homes that can better stand up against climate and extreme weather conditions.
