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.

A special THANK YOU to the City of Durham Information Technology Department, our FIRST corporate team to pick up the tools and help us relaunch this wonderful program! You traded keyboards for hammers and reminded us what happens when teamwork meets purpose. https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=q6-r5XSOYEuSNMRMv15SBFH-Ig_DIJJFjrQNo7UbeQZURDlNWkRZRkxWNkVWQ1BPMUJLR0VFMUxaWi4u "We are incredibly grateful to the City of Durham Information Technology Department for stepping forward as our first participating team," Burns said. "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-program

FRAMED was everything we hoped it would be and then some. Seventeen artists took a chance on an idea and last night, Durham showed up for it. From the artist intros to the People's Choice Awards, you filled the room. Beautiful pieces found new homes. Our hearts are still warm and our smiles are still beaming. Here's why a night like this matters: in Durham County, 77% of low-income renters are cost-burdened by their housing, and the county is short roughly 24,755 units of housing affordable to low-income residents. Artists feel that squeeze too — a recent national survey of working artists found 57% were somewhat or very worried about affording food, housing, medical care, or utilities. Housing and creativity aren't two separate conversations. They're the same one. Thank you to our donors, to the elected officials who joined us, to our volunteers, and to our dedicated staff. And thank you to every person who walked through the door. With feedback this overwhelmingly positive... we guess we'll see you next year. Not a bad way to spend a fall night in the Bull City. #FramedArtShow #BullCity #DurhamNC #HabitatForHumanity #ArtMeetsHousing

TONIGHT. 🖼️ Aeventeen Durham artists. One room. One night. FRAMED — Habitat for Humanity of Durham’s first-ever art show — opens at 6:00 PM at The Rickhouse, 609 Foster Street. Original work on easels, all of it for sale. Wine, food, and a room full of people who believe everybody deserves a door that locks. 30% of every sale builds and repairs homes right here in Durham. #FRAMEDDurham #DurhamHabitat #BullCityArt #DurhamNC #AffordableHousing

🎩 It's official — tickets for the 2026 Pillars of Promise Gala are LIVE.bFriday, December 11 · The Duke Hilton on Hillsborough https://www.durhamhabitat.org/upcoming-events This year we're celebrating something forty years in the making: Habitat for Humanity of Durham will hand over the keys to our **500th home in Durham County.** Five hundred front doors. Five hundred Durham families with an address of their own and equity in their name. It started in 1985 with 24 congregations and a lot on Angier Avenue, and it has never slowed down. So we're throwing the kind of party that milestone deserves — **Full House: From Black Tie to Blackjack.** 🥂 **THE GALA** | 6:30 – 8:30 PM | **$125** Dinner, the program, and the night we celebrate home #500 together. 🃏 **CASINO NIGHT** | 8:00 – 11:00 PM | **$125** Blackjack, roulette, cocktails, live music. Black tie optional, good fortune encouraged. ⭐ **THE FULL EVENING** | **$200** Both rooms, one ticket, $50 less than buying them apart. Every seat in that ballroom turns into lumber, a roof, a repaired furnace for a senior who'd have gone without, and a 0% interest mortgage that lets a parent build wealth instead of paying someone else's. 🎟️ **Grab your seat:** secure.qgiv.com/for/secondannualpresidentsgala Sponsorships start at $300 and tables are available — email Development@DurhamHabitat.org *Stronger Foundations. Bigger Dreams. More Families Home.* #BuiltForWhatsNext #PillarsOfPromise #DurhamHabitat #500Homes #DurhamNC #BullCity

Our Framers and Arbors were on it today. Framing has started on Goley Street as we continue launching a $100,000 community fundraising campaign named The Goley Standard. https://secure.qgiv.com/for/thegoleystandard The four-bedroom, two-bath house marks the affiliate’s return to Southeast Durham, where it intends to complete a neighborhood it helped start and build additional homes in the years ahead. The campaign divides the cost of the build into 14 sponsorable spaces, each priced at what that portion of the house actually costs to construct. Sponsorships range from $1,000 for the pantry to $25,000 for the foundation, with the kitchen, the primary suite, all four bedrooms, the covered front porch, and the side deck available in between. Spaces are reserved first-come, first-served, and donors who are not ready to fund an entire room may give any amount through the campaign’s Toolbox, which is pooled and applied to the next unclaimed space.

This year we started something new at Durham Habitat — a youth advisory board built around the idea that young people should have a real role in shaping their community. From Youth Builds to welcome home baskets, thank-you cards to lunch bag decorating, this year was about more than any single project.

Over the past year, following Builders Mutual’s recognition of Durham Habitat’s Repairs and Construction team with the Work-Safe Champion Award, our team has continued to make a meaningful impact—completing not only essential home repairs, but also tackling more complex projects for homeowners who need them most. From accessibility upgrades to major system replacements, our ability to take on larger, specialized repairs reflects both the strength of our team and the continued support of our community. Some of the most impactful work has been in sewer and septic system replacements. These critical repairs provide immediate relief and long-term stability, eliminating costly, recurring plumbing issues that can place a heavy burden on homeowners. Because at the end of the day, every homeowner deserves a safe, functional home—including something as simple, and essential, as a toilet that works.
