Mike Sutton: How Habitat for Humanity is Changing Communities

For the 18th episode of “Standing In The Gap,” Dr. Williams sits down with Mike Sutton, the President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Tampa Bay Gulfside, to discuss the non-profit organization’s impactful work.

Mike shares how Habitat for Humanity’s mission goes beyond simply building homes — delving into its holistic approach to empowering families through affordable homeownership. He explains how Habitat’s sustainable housing model and comprehensive support system, including financial education and sweat equity programs, drive lasting community transformation. Their conversation also highlights the importance of aligning one’s career with a sense of purpose and the ability to change lives, rather than solely focusing on monetary gain.

He’s transformed Pinellas’ Habitat for Humanity into the second-largest affiliate in the country. Habitat for Humanity in Pinellas County empowers individuals and families to build and purchase their own homes. The nonprofit organization has been building affordable housing for future homeowners since 1984. It provides innovative and affordable housing solutions to qualified individuals and families.

Tune in with Dr. Tonjua and Mike and discover how Habitat for Humanity is transforming communities and breaking the cycle of poverty, one family at a time.
