Co-sponsored by Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity
Presented by Amy Williams, Interim Executive Director of Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity
On World Habitat Day, join Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity for an engaging conversation about the power of safe, affordable housing to transform lives and strengthen entire communities. This presentation will explore the local realities of housing affordability, the challenges facing working families, seniors, and veterans in Monmouth County, and how Habitat’s work extends far beyond building homes—from accessibility ramps and critical repairs to neighborhood revitalization. Learn how stable housing impacts education, health, financial security, and community connection—and discover practical ways local residents can be part of the solution.
About the presenter: Amy Williams is the Interim Executive Director of Monmouth County Habitat for Humanity, where she leads efforts to expand affordable housing, critical home repair, and community partnerships across all 53 municipalities of Monmouth County. With a professional background in development, nonprofit leadership, and community engagement, Amy is passionate about connecting people to meaningful solutions that strengthen neighborhoods and create opportunities for local families, seniors, and veterans. Since stepping into leadership during a period of organizational transition, she has focused on rebuilding momentum, fostering collaboration, and increasing public awareness around the importance of safe, stable, and affordable housing. Amy brings both strategic vision and heartfelt commitment to her work, helping others understand that housing is not just about shelter—it is the foundation for stronger families and healthier communities.&nbsp;
