Building Community Together
Giving back through Habitat for Humanity.
The Parade is about building community as much as it is about showcasing homes. Proceeds from the 2026 Fall Parade of Homes will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Indiana in Lake County and Habitat for Humanity of Porter County, with proceeds divided equally between both organizations.
This partnership reflects the homebuilding industry’s commitment to safe, stable housing and to creating lasting opportunities for families throughout Northwest Indiana.
