Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Why are we asking this question?
As part of Habitat for Humanity’s repairs program, we work with government programs that require us to collect information on the people we serve. This helps us ensure we are meeting program goals and qualifying for funding to continue supporting our community.
Your participation is voluntary.
You don’t have to answer these questions, but sharing this information helps us better serve you and others. Your answers are private and won’t affect your eligibility for our repairs program.
