2011 Fall Build
We partnered with St.Thomas More, Newman Center, Holy Trinity, Hillsong, and United Church.to build at 118 Phoenix Drive.

The new owners, Emma and Melvin Council, moved in March 17, 2012 and a home dedication was held the next day. Emma works part time as a self-employed housekeeper/childcare provider. Emma and Melvin have two children currently living with them: Emily (25) and Melvin Jr. (18). Their children have helped a great deal with the family’s required sweat equity hours. The Council’s have seven grandchildren who periodically visit from out of state. They enjoy having their grandchildren visit overnight and with their new home will be able to do this as often as they want.

In 2010 we also partnered with St Thomas More, Newman Center, Holy Trinity, Hillsong, and CH High School to build a home at 208 Lizzie Lane for Saw Moo and Eh Bwe who both work for UNC housekeeping. Saw Moo has also volunteered his time to be a translator for the other Karen Habitat homeowners. Saw Moo and Eh Bwe are enjoying living in a neighborhood where they feel safe and secure, and are surrounded by many friends and can spend free time playing with their daughter Tryphena at the Phoenix Place playground.

Habitat builds are well staffed with professional leaders who work with the volunteers to insure a professionally constructed and outfitted house. Habitat program participants provide "sweat equity" participating in the build of what will be THEIR home in the end! We all learn a lot about building and rebuilding more than just the physical home during a Habitat build! [|Construction Volunteer Info]
