We are very excited to welcome our new Director of Advocacy, Jacquie Ayala! 

For the past year, housing advocates have warned of a wave of evictions due to COVID-19, and families are bracing for the impact. The CDC’s eviction moratorium is set to expire on July 31, which means that millions of renters may be displaced from their homes very soon.  

We are pleased to announce four new members of our Board of Directors. We are confident that the expertise and connections these individuals bring will bolster our plans for the new fiscal year '22.

For the ninth year in a row, the TBJ 40 Under 40 winners will help raise funds for Habitat Wake. The 40 Under 40 awards recognize outstanding professionals under the age of 40 for their contributions to their organizations and to the community. This year’s class was selected from a pool of more than 200 nominations.
