And just like that, Mireya is home!

Mireya is a force to be reckoned with, and she doesn't let things stand in her way. So when this lady decided to purchase her own home, there was no way it wasn't going to happen.

A dietary aide at Carolina Village with a disabled adult son, the path to homeownership wasn't easy or obvious. We are so proud that Habitat was able to play a role in helping her dream become a reality.

Habitat for Humanity doesn't give away houses. We partner with hardworking people like Mireya to help make affordable homeownership possible. Mireya put in the work, completed her sweat equity and homebuyer education, and is purchasing her home with an affordable Habitat mortgage.

And now, after all that work, she gets to do something pretty wonderful: walk through her own front door and know that she is HOME.

Congratulations, Mireya! You worked hard for this moment, and we couldn't be happier to celebrate it with you.

****************************
¡Y así, Mireya ya está en casa!

Mireya es una mujer imparable que no permite que los obstáculos se interpongan en su camino. Así que, cuando decidió comprar su propia casa, no había duda de que lo iba a lograr.

Como asistente de alimentación en Carolina Village y madre de un hijo adulto con discapacidad, el camino hacia la compra de una vivienda no fue fácil ni evidente. Estamos muy orgullosos de que Habitat haya podido ser parte de este proceso y ayudarla a hacer realidad su sueño.

Habitat for Humanity no regala casas. Trabajamos en colaboración con personas dedicadas como Mireya para hacer posible el acceso a una vivienda propia a un precio asequible. Mireya hizo el trabajo, completó sus horas de esfuerzo propio y su capacitación para compradores de vivienda, y está comprando su casa con una hipoteca asequible de Habitat.

Y ahora, después de todo ese esfuerzo, puede hacer algo verdaderamente maravilloso: cruzar la puerta de su propia casa y saber que, por fin, está en SU HOGAR.

¡Felicidades, Mireya! Trabajaste muy duro para llegar a este momento, y no podríamos estar más felices de celebrarlo contigo.

A great reminder that, when you shop at our ReStores, you're making a bigger difference than you might think...

Your Purchase Has a Purpose. 🏠♻️

What if the things we’re finished with aren’t actually finished yet?

That old lamp, the chair you’ve outgrown, the cabinet you no longer need, or the decor that no longer fits your style may still have a lot of life left in them. At the ReStore, we provide donated items the chance to find a new home, a new purpose, and a new story, rather than ending up in a landfill.

The purpose of the ReStore extends beyond simply keeping useful items out of the waste stream. Every donation and every purchase helps support the efforts of Henderson County and Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity. This support contributes to building and improving homes, as well as creating more opportunities for families in our community. 💙

So, when you shop, donate, or even tell a friend about the ReStore, you’re helping keep useful items in circulation and helping build a stronger community.

One purchase. A second chance for an item. A little good for our community. 💙

Well, this is... different...

We caught some Habitat volunteers doing what Habitat volunteers do best: tackling whatever job needs to be done, even when it requires a VERY fashionable yellow suit and respirator.

These brave souls suited up to spray-paint light poles that will soon be installed throughout our Dodd Meadows neighborhood, helping to provide better lighting and safer, brighter streets for the families who call it home.

A big thank you to this crew for once again proving that building stronger communities sometimes requires a hammer, sometimes requires a paint sprayer, and sometimes requires dressing like a giant banana. 🍌

We love it when our community partners pitch in to help out! Lin Johnson, from the Henderson County chapter of Circles USA, stopped by to drop off a pint of blood and some extra positivity at our American Red Cross North Carolina blood drive today.

We’re lucky to be part of a community where organizations don’t just work alongside one another; we show up for one another, too. Whether it’s helping families build stability, strengthening our community, or rolling up a sleeve to help save a life, it all adds up to neighbors helping neighbors.

Thanks for stopping by, Lin, and thanks to everyone who joined us today to give! 🩸

What a beautiful recounting of our two home dedication ceremonies yesterday! Thank you so much to Flat Rock Together for telling the stories of Mireya and Maria, as well as highlighting our mission and the work we do. ❤️

On a warm, bright Saturday morning in East Flat Rock, Mireya Chipol stood inside her new home and cried. Around her, Habitat for Humanity staff and volunteers had gathered in the Dodd Meadows community to celebrate the dedication of two new homes. Mireya’s family gathered by her side, and as Fathe...

Affordable housing isn’t a red issue or a blue issue. It’s a community issue.

This week, Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the country are participating in Habitat in Your District, speaking up for policies that can help more families find and afford a safe, stable place to call home.

For us, advocacy isn’t about politics or party. It’s about making sure lawmakers hear from the people they represent and encouraging them to support well-researched, proven policies that address the very real housing challenges facing communities across America.

Building homes is an important part of what we do. But we also know we can’t build our way out of the affordable housing crisis alone. Policies at the local, state, and federal levels affect how much housing gets built, where it can be built, how existing homes are preserved, and whether families can afford to stay in their communities.

That’s where your voice matters.

As part of Habitat in Your District, we’re asking our supporters to contact their legislators and let them know that affordable housing matters to you. Habitat makes it easy to send a message and show your support for policies that can help make safe, affordable housing more accessible to families across the country.

📣 Add your voice: https://qr.habitat-hvl.org/hiydaction2026

Because everyone deserves a decent place to live, and making that possible takes all of us.
