Just like many of you, our affiliate has been impacted by Covid-19. Each Habitat affiliate is self-funded.

Our affiliate receives the majority of its funding from two sources: homeowner payments and our sales store.

 

Several of our homeowners work in restaurants and hospitality and are struggling financially right now which impacts their ability to pay their mortgage. We will work with them so they can pay their mortgage over time but we are losing that income right now which is used for construction and rehab work that we are doing on 5th Street.

Our store has been closed for two months. During that time, we chose to keep our employees on staff to clean our store. While we are receiving PPP funding to cover salaries, we have lost income from the sales that the store generates.

 

To help affiliates meet financial challenges they face right now, Habitat for Humanity International has launched a fundraising program: Homes, Communities, Hope + You. All donations raised in this fundraiser will remain here to help Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity.

You can donate through our website, https://echabitat6.wixsite.com/ecityhabitat  or mail donations to 440 S. Hughes Blvd.
