Thank you to the teams at Xylem and Builders Mutual for joining us for a wall build! In just two hours, an entire home’s walls were assembled as part of our Season of Service leading up to Veterans Day. We’re grateful for partners who care deeply about our community, and to Zebulon Commissioner Quentin Miles for showing his support on site today.

Special thanks to NUCA of The Carolinas for volunteering with us this weekend and providing vital fundraising support! We’re grateful for their partnership and shared passion for building strong communities in Wake and Johnston counties.

We had a great time showing some of our Habitat friends from across North Carolina a couple of our current projects: our new Clayton ReStore progress and Old Poole Place neighborhood. The tours were part of the annual Camp Habitat organized by our state support organization, Habitat North Carolina. Thank you everyone for joining!

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.
