  • We replace rotted roofs, floors and unsafe wiring.
  • We partner with families who agree to a monthly payment in the form or a zero percent interest, long-term, adjustable loan.

Volunteers Needed

Currently most of the volunteers on our Critical Home Repair Projects are from our Adopt-A-Project teams.    Please check out our information on volunteering for individuals and groups, as we utilize these systems to notify folks when we do have availability with-in Critical Home Repair.     We do have a faithful group of week-day volunteers, who volunteer weekly.  If you would like to see if this is a good match for you (not everyone wants to crawl under homes or work on the roof), please contact Beth Van Gorp at bvangorp@habitatcharlotte.org or 704-716-7077.
