Owning a home is a major step toward long-term financial security. It provides stability, builds equity, and creates a safe environment for families to thrive. The Equifax Foundation has partnered with Habitat for Humanity for several years by sponsoring and volunteering at home build sites. These projects create safe and affordable housing led by community action.
Our Purpose is to help people live their financial best. Engaging with Habitat for Humanity reflects that commitment, as we strive to positively impact communities in which we live and work through employee volunteerism, education, and philanthropy.
Homeownership is a critical foundation for building financial security, establishing generational wealth and revitalizing local communities. Equifax plays a critical role in this journey as a leading national consumer reporting agency.
"As someone who’s passionate about mortgage and housing, this is important to me personally,” said Joel Rickman, SVP of Mortgage and Housing & Verification Services at Equifax. “I’m always proud to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity alongside our dedicated Equifax team. It underscores the active role we play in our communities, ensuring our contributions extend directly into these neighborhoods.”
Our partnership with Habitat for Humanity brings our corporate values to life. When our employees take time out of their busy schedules to volunteer, it adds a human dimension to our daily focus of creating a financially-inclusive ecosystem. Every nail driven and every wall raised during these projects represents a tangible step forward. It’s a step toward greater access, better financial health, and a brighter future for the families who will call these houses home.
