Habitat for Humanity of Wake County

For Kai, owning a home has been a lifelong dream. "I’ve always envisioned a place for me and my three kids," she said. "Raising them on my own hasn’t been easy. My oldest is 28 and living on his own, but I still have two girls at home—17 and 8. They know what I’m doing out here, and we’re all so excited." Kai finished orientation and had her first day on the construction site last week. Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eW4zdZWJ

It was great to host Deborah Ross on site today at our Knightdale neighborhood, Flowers Place, to share our plans for upcoming work and discuss the challenges of building affordable housing in our community. We appreciate Rep. Ross's support on key housing bills and hope that Congress finalizes the FY25 budget soon and includes robust funding for affordable housing.

We are heartbroken by the devastation from Hurricane Helene, especially in western NC. Many families now face an urgent need for safe, stable housing. Our sister Habitats will need support as they begin rebuilding — and you can help. Starting today, Friday, 10/4 through Saturday 10/19, 100% of ReStore register round-ups and donations made through our donation pick-up drivers will be allocated to western NC Habitat affiliates that are impacted by the hurricane. You can also donate online here: https://shorturl.at/8YDEq

Today, in honor of September 11th, Habitat Wake proudly kicked off the first of several 2024 Veterans Builds. During this Season of Service, we will shine a light on the unique challenges veterans face in accessing affordable housing, while creating opportunities for volunteers and veterans to build both homes and community together. Thank you to our partners on today's build, FMI, and Strategic Wealth Designers for making this event possible. And to the Naval ROTC at NCSU, who presented the flag and led us in a moment of silence. #911 #dayofservice
