Chowan/Perquimans Chapter of
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing program dedicated to eliminating substandard housing. Founded in 1976 on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, decent, affordable place to dwell in dignity and safety. Habitat has since constructed over 140,000 houses.
Our Habitat Affiliate - The Chowan/Perquimans Habitat
for Humanity - was organized in 1996 and approved by Habitat for Humanity
International in September of 1997.
We bring together families, volunteer builders and community resources to
construct affordable quality housing. The Partner Family works on the construction
as part of their "sweat equity" and pays for the house with a no-interest
mortgage.
We have completed five houses, two of which are in Snug Harbor. Our goal is
to build two houses a year.
