Partnership and Purpose: Building a Home, Together
At Habitat Charlotte Region, every home begins with more than just a blueprint—it begins with a dream. A dream of safety. Of stability. Of a place where families can grow, thrive, and build a future and it takes a community of dedicated partners, many of whom provide in kind donations of materials and services in order to turn dreams into reality.
Laying the Groundwork
Before a single wall can rise, the land must be prepared. That’s where the journey begins—with companies such as Cook’s Excavating LLC and Lithko Contracting. With steady hands and expert precision, they shape the earth, laying the foundation for what’s to come. Their work is the essential first step in transforming empty lots into vibrant neighborhoods.
Once the ground is ready, the bones of the house begin to emerge. Rafters & Walls, Simpson Strong-Tie Company and Carolina Structural Systems step in with trusses and framing materials that form the backbone of every home. Their craftsmanship ensures that each roof we raise is strong, secure, and built to last.
Protection from the elements is more than a necessity, it’s a promise. CertainTeed Corporation fulfills that promise by donating high-quality shingles that shield our homes from wind, rain, and time. Their generosity ensures that families stay safe and dry, season after season.
Turning Houses into Homes
Even the smallest pieces play a big role. Huttig provides the fasteners that hold every beam and board in place and Schneider Electric provides electrical panels and breakers to power the home. Though tiny, these components are mighty—quietly holding everything together, just like the unseen bonds of community.
As the final touches are added, the house begins to feel like a home. ReColor brings warmth to every room with recycled paint while Whirlpool Corporation and Ferguson provide functionality to kitchens and bathrooms. These spaces become places for family dinners, morning routines, and everyday memories.
More Than Materials
Each of these partners gives more than just materials and services—they give hope. Together, we’re not just building houses. We’re building futures. We’re creating spaces where children can dream, where parents can rest easy, and where communities can flourish.
At Habitat Charlotte Region, we believe that every nail, every shingle, every cabinet tells a story. And thanks to our incredible partners, those stories are filled with purpose, partnership, and the promise of a better tomorrow.
