Embracing the Easter Spirit: Building Hope with Habitat for Humanity
As Easter arrives, it serves as a poignant reminder of renewal, hope, and the transformative power of love. At Habitat for Humanity, we embody these principles every day as we strive to alleviate the immense affordable housing shortage in Wake County and Johnston counties and make affordable homeownership a reality with families. As valued partners, your dedication and passion are instrumental in driving this mission forward, and we are immensely grateful for your ongoing support.

Advocating for better housing policy
“In a word, life as a homeowner is just better.”

2024 Advocacy Training
On a chilly morning in January, volunteers faced freezing weather to attend this year’s Advocacy Ambassador Training. Advocacy is another strategy that Habitat uses to combat the affordable housing crisis. Through the Advocacy Ambassador program, volunteers are given the skills and tools to use their voices to stand up for affordable housing in their communities. Learn more about how you can become an Advocacy Ambassador here.

Area churches partner with Habitat Wake to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
At Habitat Wake, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a day on, rather than a day off. Several faith groups joined forces for the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. Together, they built and raised walls for affordable homes in our community, embodying Dr. King's vision of the beloved community.

The event kicked off Habitat Wake’s annual Beloved Build, which for more than 10 years has brought faith groups together to put into practice Dr. King’s concept of the beloved community: an integrated, just society that is the ideal expression of the Christian faith.
