“As a company that values serving others and pioneers safety and security, Allegion is honoured to promote home ownership with Habitat for Humanity,” said Allegion Chairman, President and CEO Dave Petratis. “In Mexico alone, this organisation has served nearly 57,000 families – an outstanding impact. As a local business, we want to help grow this positive work there.”

Allegion Americas has a history of supporting Habitat for Humanity since 2009 in Indianapolis, Ind., where the company has a manufacturing facility. Earlier this year, Allegion Americas dedicated its eighth home with Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity.

“Allegion’s support has helped families obtain decent and affordable homes and create better lives for themselves,” said Jonathan Reckford, Habitat for Humanity CEO. “We are grateful to partner with Allegion Americas to help families build strength and independence.”

Support in Indianapolis has included nearly $750,000 in sponsorships and in-kind donations as well as 13,000 volunteer hours to support the dream of home ownership. In 2015, Allegion Americas also began supplying hardware to Habitat for Humanity Restores across the United States and, this year, donated nearly $1 million retail value.
