It's been a week since we wrapped up our Home Builders Blitz - building 4 homes in just 10 days! The construction of these homes over a short time is impressive, but the impact these four homes will have on these homebuyers is just beginning. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially our builders BuildSense, Trinity Design Build, and Bost Custom Homes, as well as partners Home Builders Association of Durham, Orange & Chatham Counties.

Embracing this spirit, volunteers from UNC Habitat for Humanity teamed up with State Farm last week for a volunteer day at Weavers Grove. The collegiate chapter recently received a matching grant to raise funds that drive affordable housing initiatives. From construction and repairs to vital rehab projects, these grants catalyze change where it's needed most. (fb)
