<h3>About Habitat for Humanity's ShelterTech </h3><p><a href="https://www.habitat.org/sheltertech" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ShelterTech</a> is a global innovation platform advancing entrepreneurial housing solutions that radically improve the lives of low-income families.

They include investors, financial institutions, corporations, governments, peers, mentors and technical experts.The challenge is daunting: 1.6 billion people live in inadequate shelter globally, many in slums and informal settlements that, for generations, have trapped families in a cycle of poverty, poor health and social injustice. But Habitat’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live — and ShelterTech brings this into focus every time someone with a breakthrough housing idea improves their business model in partnership with impact investors, mentors and peers. ShelterTech supports innovation in housing sectors ranging from materials and markets to energy.</p>
