His support will provide mortgage relief for Habitat Homeowners and allow them to focus on what's important—keeping their families safe, warm, dry and healthy," said Corinne O'Connell, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia. "It also shows the deep commitment that Tobias has to Philadelphia and Habitat's vision of a city where everyone has a decent place to live."
