In this episode of the RAC Podcast, Laura McCoy sits down with Erin Hudson, Executive Director of Harbor Habitat for Humanity. Erin shares her personal journey back to Benton Harbor and why providing safe, affordable housing has become her mission.
Erin breaks down what Harbor Habitat does — building homes for low-to-moderate income individuals and families, operating the Harbor Habitat ReStore as a key fundraiser, and partnering with homeowners through financial education, sweat equity, and affordable mortgages (Habitat homes are not “given away”). She also discusses the growing housing challenges in Southwest Michigan, the ongoing need for volunteers, and the organization’s vision for the future — including “Project T,” a major development effort planned for 2026.
If you’re passionate about community, stability, and creating real change close to home, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
