Faith

Dr. Martin Luther King 50 Years Later
I had just turned 10 in April 1968 and though not very aware of the world beyond my segregated suburban Washington, D.C. neighborhood, I remember hearing of the assassination of Dr. King and feeling, somehow, it was a major loss for humanity.

Years later, after much study of the Civil Rights movement in the U.S. and on Dr. King in particular, I consider him to be one of all-time great Christian leaders—understanding as well as anyone—the cost of discipleship and how to live a life for others.

Affordable Housing

Can you make it any harder?
At Habitat Wake, we are always up for a challenge and that’s a good thing since providing homeownership to families earning less than 60% of the area median income is quite a feat in itself. However, lately the news from Washington begs the question, “Can you make it any harder?”

Here’s just a few recent proposals that make the task of providing affordable housing that much harder:

The White House eliminates all funding programs that Habitat for Humanity utilizes in its’ FY19 budget proposal.
