"This is the kind of partnership we want to continue growing across Durham. It's about bringing people out of their offices, connecting them with their neighbors, and creating an opportunity to make a tangible difference. The City helped us demonstrate that the Playhouse Program is back, and we are ready to build on that momentum With our latest build, we've officially completed 184 PLAYHOUSES since the program began in 2013! That's 184 opportunities to spark imagination, create childhood memories, and bring our community together around something bigger than ourselves. We have rasied over $450,000 We couldn't have made this comeback without our incredible Playhouse Team, led by the legendary Gene Carlone and his dedicated crew of self-proclaimed "Geezers!" Carlone states: "The Habitat for Humanity Playhouse build program offers a proven alternative team building activity for organizations. Teams work together, learn new skills and at the end of the day have a playhouse that can be used for other charitable benefit. It's a win, win, win - Habitat wins, the organization wins, and the recipient of the playhouse wins." https://www.durhamhabitat.org/news-events/little-houses-big-impact-habitat-for-humanity-of-durham-celebrates-the-return-of-its-playhouse-programImpact

About
Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.
Habitat for Humanity of Durham is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization that is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating, and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman, and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all.
Habitat for Humanity of Durham grew from Durham’s faith community, commitment to service, and belief in true partnership. From 1982 to 1984, a group of youth and adults at Watts Street Baptist Church led mission trips to build with Habitat for Humanity in Tennessee and Maryland. As the trips grew in popularity, Worth Lutz, Dick Chorley, Floyd Fletcher, and Joe Lee, Jr. began exploring the feasibility of founding a Habitat affiliate in Durham.
In October 1985, Durham Congregations in Action (DCIA), an organization of 24 churches and faith communities, came together to officially found Habitat for Humanity of Durham. In 1989, Trinity United Methodist Church , a DCIA member, offered office space to the new organization, and our offices remained there until late 2023.
