Ways to Support Habitat Charlotte Region

stories of home & hope

A Home for Maggie & a Milestone for CHR

Eighty-year-old Maggie King was at her husband’s hospital bedside when she got the news that her home of almost 30 years was on fire. She would soon learn that the home was unlivable.

The Beloved Community

We believe in a world where everyone deserves a chance for a better future – regardless of who they are, what they look like, or where they come from.

New Year, New Start

Overcoming adversity is nothing new for Judith and her son Maurice.

Women Build 30

What started three decades ago as a conversation among three women working at Habitat Charlotte Region has grown into an international movement where women-led volunteer crews build affordable housing throughout the globe.

For thirty years Habitat Charlotte Region has hosted our annual Women Build; in honor of this milestone, we are excited to announce the launch of Women Build 30 (WB30).

You can get involved in our celebrations of WB30 now! See the anniversary page for more details.
