If you moved into Hillcrest this year and did NOT get a new lawnmower from Habitat, please call Bethany at 770-432-7954. Every new homeowner receives one, free of charge, when they move in.

We will be having our biannual giveaway of clothes, books, bedding, toys, etc. for the maternity/baby/early childhood set on Tuesday, September 23rd, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. , and Wednesday, September 24th, from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m.  This event is open to Habitat homeowner families only and will be held in the warehouse at the Habitat office. Families will be given one large black plastic bag to fill with items; each family will have 20 minutes to choose goods.  We will sign up no more than five families for each 20-minute slot. 

To sign up for a time to come, call Robyn at 770-432-7954, or email her (preferable) at robynmcclurkin@cobbhabitat.org with your requested time and date.

Recipes for Financial Fitness is a wonderful new toolkit for anyone who wants to learn or teach about financial matters. Over 100 recipes for success – developed with guidance from Habitat staff and partner families – cover these important topics:

  • Credit, Credit Scores and Credit Problems
  • Controlling Spending and Saving
  • Owning a Home
  • Finding a Good Job
  • Protect My Money and Identity
  • Getting an Education

The Recipe for Financial Fitness Toolkit allows anyone who faces financial challenges to immediately find useful information and practical advice.

For someone who wants to learn or teach about a specific topic, the recipes are organized into lessons that include interactive worksheets, quizzes and links to online resources. For maximum benefit, the program can be taken as a self-help course, beginning with a full assessment of your family’s understanding of finances. Then each recipe can be engaged in order as you use the work sheets used to track progress toward meeting your goals.

The Recipes for Financial Fitness Toolkit is made possible through a generous donation from, and in collaboration with, the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE). HFHI and NEFE have partnered for over a dozen years to provide Habitat families with the tools they need to become financially secure.

Our new name is official, Habitat for Humanity NW Metro Atlanta! When you send us your mortgage payment, or any correspondence, please make it out with our new name.

Also, please remember that your mortgage is due on the 1st of every month. You will be charged a late fee ($20) if we receive it after the 10th but technically it will still be considered late if we receive it after the 1st.
