E89: How Habitat for Humanity Builds Trust, Stewardship, and Affordable Homeownership (Candace Jordan)

Candace Jordan, Chief Development Officer at Atlanta Habitat for Humanity, joins me for a conversation on affordable housing, donor stewardship, corporate partnerships, and trust-based fundraising.We explore what people often misunderstand about Habitat’s model, how Atlanta Habitat combines construction, mortgages, financial education, sweat equity, and home preservation, and what nonprofit leaders can learn about storytelling, trust, and stewardship.This conversation is also deeply personal for me. My family received a Habitat home after my mom’s divorce, and that experience changed our lives. At the end, I share a short reflection from my mom on what that home made possible for our family.
