Habitat for Humanity Tucson is proud of our on-going relationship with Cox Communications.

“Believe it or not, we have encountered some resistance to having a Habitat home in a few neighborhoods,” stated Michael McDonald, Habitat’s Executive Director.  “Several years ago, Cox Communications helped us successfully launch the “Yes In My BackYard” – or YIMBY – Campaign so that we could get the word out about the benefits of homeownership to the community.”

This campaign fits Cox Communications goal of implementing a business plan that dramatically and measurably improves the community for their customers, employees and the general public by focusing on the following areas:
•    Developing high-skilled, high-wage jobs
•    Developing downtown
•    Enhancing quality of life such as health care, arts and culture
•    Improving education
•    Improving government

Cox Communications has also partnered with other local businesses to sponsor homes started on Building Freedom Day.  On September 11, 2009, they helped raise the walls on the Marroquin family’s future home.

“In addition to coming out to pound nails, Cox employees have helped us by providing expertise on several of our committees,” stated Michael McDonald.  “We appreciate and value the talented individuals we have had the privilege of working with.”
