Habitat for Humanity of Wake County brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Since 1985, Habitat Wake has built more than 800 new homes and served nearly 2,000 families with new construction, home preservation and global building. This year, we will build 50 new homes and preserve 20 homes in Wake and Johnston counties. Habitat Wake tithes on its unrestricted income to fund the construction of Habitat homes in our partner countries: Honduras, Malawi, and Cambodia. This year we will fund 38 homes in these countries. Habitat Wake’s homes aren’t given away: program participants complete sweat equity hours, take financial education courses and purchase their homes by paying an affordable monthly payment that totals no more than 30 percent of their household income.
