Most Recent Annual Report
Our Report to the Community 2006-2007 extends a heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers, donors, sponsors, grant providers, shoppers and friends whose resources led to homeownership for neighbors in need. As we watched the new home of Habitat Wake being built this year, the solid concrete walls became a symbol of our commitment to serve the people of Wake County. With reduced overhead costs, this purpose-built facility will enable us to better carry out our mission while achieving aggressive goals set in response to our community's rapid growth and increasing need for affordable housing.
