**World Habitat Day is Monday, October 1st**

The United Nations has designated the first Monday in October as World Habitat Day. This year the theme is: **Many Homes, One Community.** Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity supporters are taking part in several events between now and Monday to mark this occasion. **Media are invited and encouraged to cover any of these events.**

- **Friday-Sunday:** Local churches, temples and mosques will take part in the International Day of Prayer and Action for Human Habitat.
- **Saturday:** The Habitat home built by Holy Hammer volunteers at **418 Edmund Avenue in St. Paul** will be dedicated in a public ceremony starting at 10AM.
- **Monday: **Habitat volunteers will help make critical repairs to a home at **525 Sherburne Avenue in St. Paul**. They’ll be working on site from 9am to 3pm.
- **Monday:** The Twin Cities Habitat Book/Film Club will watch and discuss a documentary on affordable housing. They’ll meet at 7pm at Kings Crossing Senior Housing at **500 Dale Street in St. Paul**.

All these activities are part of Twin Cities Habitat current Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative partnership with the Frogtown Neighborhood of St. Paul. Habitat supporters are also signing a letter asking Minnesota lawmakers to make affordable housing a top priority for them in the upcoming legislative session.
