Greater Indy Habitat Young Professionals (GIHYP)
Hard at work since 2019
Connecting socially conscious individuals with Habitat's mission through volunteerism and community awareness

A peer-to-peer fundraiser

For many families in Central Indiana, the dream of homeownership can feel out of reach as rising housing costs continue to outpace wages.

That’s where Haunted for Habitat comes in. Throughout October, we’re raising funds to help create more affordable homeownership opportunities across our community. Every dollar raised supports Habitat’s mission of building stable, affordable homes and helping families achieve long-term financial security.

Join a fundraising team, spread the word, and help inspire donations from your network. Visit the toolkit for ready-to-use graphics, captions, and copy-and-paste content that makes sharing easy.
