More than 20 volunteers help build two new homes in Racine, reinforcing a commitment to the local community

Racine, WI – August 25, 2025 – Assurant, Inc. (NYSE: AIZ), through the Assurant Foundation, and CNH (NYSE: CNH), a world-class equipment, technology and services company, are partnering for the third consecutive year with Habitat for Humanity of Racine & Kenosha Counties to help build two new homes for Racine families, helping them realize the dream of homeownership. This latest project will bring the partners’ total to six homes built for deserving community families since 2021.

Last week, Assurant teamed up with client CNH, a major employer in the local area, to mobilize 20 volunteers to take part in the next phase of the home construction process. These homes will provide much-needed stability for the families and also contribute to the broader revitalization of the Racine community.

Assurant has maintained a strong relationship with Habitat for Humanity International since 2018. Over the past eight years, the Assurant Foundation has invested over $1.4 million in Habitat for Humanity chapters across the U.S. From 2024 to date, Assurant employees have dedicated more than 2,000 volunteer hours in support of home builds.

“Habitat for Humanity of Racine & Kenosha Counties is a valued partner of the Assurant Foundation, and we’re always proud to volunteer alongside our clients to make create meaningful impact,” said Mike Medeiros, VP Commercial Equipment, Assurant. “Joining forces with CNH amplifies our ability to support families who are working hard to create a better future. The initiative reflects both companies’ long-standing commitment to strengthening the communities where we live and work and I look forward to future collaboration.”

“We’re proud to witness the incredible difference Habitat for Humanity affiliates make in the communities they serve – especially here in Racine, home to so many of our employees,” said Jeremy Engelhardt, Director of Sales and Marketing for CNH Capital. “Partnering with Assurant has been an important part of our shared mission to help families achieve strength, stability, and independence through safe, affordable housing. Together, we’re not just building homes, we’re building more resilient neighborhoods and creating opportunities that will benefit the community for generations to come.”

“Assurant and CNH have been committed and valuable partners to our local chapter for many years,” said Rex Hamilton, Director of Development and Communications at Habitat for Humanity of Racine & Kenosha Counties. “The broad support both companies provide play a significant role in our efforts to build homes and create thriving communities. We are proud to have them as partners and look forward to helping even more families build affordable and sustainable housing in the local area.”

“On average, homes in Racine are completed within 10-11 months,” added Hamilton. “Approximately 70% of each home is volunteer-built, and in 2024, just shy of 4,000 volunteer hours were given on our build sites. Our goal is to have these first two Herrick Village homes completed in June 2026.

Dedication ceremonies take place on the day of closing, after the home has been completed and final inspections are complete.
