Housing has become one of the defining issues of our time. But understanding the challenge requires us to rethink what housing really means-and what it makes possible.Around the world, rising costs and a changing housing landscape are reshaping where people can live, how communities grow, and who has access to opportunity. Families are finding it harder to access safe, affordable housing. Communities are struggling to retain workers. And the consequences reach far beyond housing itself, affecting health, education, economic mobility, resilience, and belonging.In Rethinking Home, Jonathan Reckford draws on more than two decades as CEO of Habitat for Humanity International to explore what he has learned about one of society's most complex-and most solvable-challenges.His perspective has evolved along with Habitat's work. Building more homes remains essential. But meeting today's housing need also requires us to think about the land beneath those homes, the capital that makes them possible, new approaches to construction, the strength of communities, and ultimately the opportunity that a stable home can create.Through stories and lessons from communities around the world, Reckford takes readers from incremental building and innovative financing to healthier homes, stronger neighborhoods, new technologies, and unexpected partnerships. He shows how governments, businesses, nonprofits, financial institutions, communities, and individuals can each help expand access to housing-and why none can solve the challenge alone.This is not simply a book about Habitat for Humanity. Nor is it a history of an organization marking its fiftieth anniversary.It is a deeply informed and hopeful exploration of what more than twenty years of leadership have taught Reckford about housing, partnership, innovation, and the power of questioning old assumptions. Rather than presenting housing as an intractable crisis, he offers something increasingly valuable: practical optimism grounded in what he has seen work.For business and civic leaders, policymakers, housing professionals, nonprofit leaders, community builders-and anyone concerned about the future of opportunity-Rethinking Home offers a new way to understand housing and a compelling invitation to help shape what comes next.Home shapes opportunity.

Housing has become one of the defining issues of our time. But understanding the challenge requires us to rethink what housing really means-and what it makes possible.
Around the world, rising costs and a changing housing landscape are reshaping where people can live, how communities grow, and who has access to opportunity. Families are finding it harder to access safe, affordable housing. Communities are struggling to retain workers. And the consequences reach far beyond housing itself, affecting health, education, economic mobility, resilience, and belonging.
In Rethinking Home, Jonathan Reckford draws on more than two decades as CEO of Habitat for Humanity International to explore what he has learned about one of society's most complex-and most solvable-challenges.
His perspective has evolved along with Habitat's work. Building more homes remains essential. But meeting today's housing need also requires us to think about the land beneath those homes, the capital that makes them possible, new approaches to construction, the strength of communities, and ultimately the opportunity that a stable home can create.
Through stories and lessons from communities around the world, Reckford takes readers from incremental building and innovative financing to healthier homes, stronger neighborhoods, new technologies, and unexpected partnerships. He shows how governments, businesses, nonprofits, financial institutions, communities, and individuals can each help expand access to housing-and why none can solve the challenge alone.
This is not simply a book about Habitat for Humanity. Nor is it a history of an organization marking its fiftieth anniversary.
It is a deeply informed and hopeful exploration of what more than twenty years of leadership have taught Reckford about housing, partnership, innovation, and the power of questioning old assumptions. Rather than presenting housing as an intractable crisis, he offers something increasingly valuable: practical optimism grounded in what he has seen work.
For business and civic leaders, policymakers, housing professionals, nonprofit leaders, community builders-and anyone concerned about the future of opportunity-Rethinking Home offers a new way to understand housing and a compelling invitation to help shape what comes next.
Home shapes opportunity. And every one of us has an opportunity to help shape its future.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Home-set, Mannheim, Germany, sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
