Habitat for Humanity is propelled by a vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We devote ourselves to creating that world because we believe everyone -- every single one of us, regardless of who we are or where we come from -- deserves a decent life and deserves the opportunity for a better future.

Believing is not enough. And so we build.

We are staying in a guest house in the neighborhood and it was the first morning where I felt like I knew the route and recognized the faces we passed as we made our way to the work site.

Interested in seeing what a finished Habitat home looks like? Want to learn more about how to apply to become a Habitat homeowner? Join us on Saturday, October 26th in Selma for an open-house event!

We hope you'll join us! 

Our community consistently tops the lists of best places to live. People and businesses are moving to the Triangle every day, making it one of the fastest growing regions in the country. 

Because there’s such demand, housing costs are on the rise. Home prices are increasing at a faster rate than wage growth, putting strain on what families are able to afford.
