Habitat Wake’s annual Veterans Build is aimed at highlighting the challenges faced by the veteran community in accessing affordable housing.
According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, 24 percent of veterans over the age of 55 are cost burdened, meaning they pay too much of their income toward housing at the expense of other necessities such as groceries, healthcare and education. Older veterans are also more likely to have a disability, which may require home modifications, health and other supportive services as they age.
Want to support our Veterans Build and other CSR builds? If your company would like to sponsor, or you are part of a veteran’s group and are interested in partnering, please reach out to Dan McHugh.
Habitat Wake + Veterans
For veterans who meet our program qualifications, Habitat Wake offers mortgage rates that are lower than those that the Veterans Administration is able to offer. In addition to applying to purchase a Habitat Wake home, veterans can find supportive services through our home preservation program (in partnership with Rebuilding Together of the Triangle), employment opportunities, and volunteer opportunities.
