Habitat Charlotte Homeowner Sponsored House

Our current homeowners need your help!!!

Our homeowners are so thankful for all of the positive changes and effects that Habitat homeownership has had on their lives, and they want to help another family acquire the dream of homeownership and experience the pride and stability that comes along with Habitat homeownership.

To do this they need your help! Below are upcoming fundraisers to help the homeowners reach their goal of $60,000 to build the Habitat Charlotte Homeowner Sponsored House. Please join us in supporting our homeowners!
