Habitat for Humanity has been building homes for people since before its foundation in 1976. I think everyone deserves a roof over their head and Habitat has been helping marginalized individuals attain that goal for almost half a century now.
Habitat for Humanity has local organizations all around the United States and the closest o e to me is in Pope County, AR. Their Facebook page can be found here:

Habitat for Humanity is an advocate for fair and equitable housing. On its website, Habitat talks about its advocacy work. The excerpt can be found below.
"Advocacy means supporting and promoting a cause you believe in.
At Habitat for Humanity, we advocate changing policies and systems so that we can eliminate barriers to adequate, affordable housing. Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
The building is part of the solution, but the less visible aspects of housing like laws, regulations, systems, and rules about land and the built environment are critical components, too. Sustainable and inclusive policies and systems can promote access to decent housing, while others can create barriers. And those barriers make it harder to find land for construction, build a home or be able to afford a place to live.
Habitat’s approach to advocacy is based on decades of on-the-ground experience and policy expertise. From our deep understanding of housing and its central role in providing opportunities for families, we work to reform laws in a non-confrontational, nonpartisan way.
Habitat has helped families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter for more than four decades. Since our founding in 1976, Habitat has served millions of people, and there’s no question that our work has made a significant impact throughout the world.
But it’s not enough. Today, one out of every four people around the world is still in need of a safe, healthy, and affordable place to call home. In addition to lifting our hammers, we must also lift our voices in support of the adequate shelter. Advocating for sustainable and
inclusive policies and systems that promote access to decent housing are critical to achieving our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live."
To lift a hammer in support of Habitat for Humanity, you can volunteer via their website or through the local Facebook page mentioned above.
Habitat for Humanity is truly an All-Star Organization that should be celebrated because it advocates for one of life's basic necessities.
