Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity Mission: Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity partners with people in our community to build or improve a place they can call home. Cape Fear Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families. Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity was established in 1987 and has served more than 175 hard-working families through the construction and rehabilitation of homes throughout New Hanover and Pender counties.
