Cape Cod, like many areas across the US, is struggling with out of control real
estate prices, which make it nearly impossible for the people that support the
community - the healthcare workers, teachers, firefighters and policemen,
clerks, and many others to live in the community they serve.
Some of the proposed solutions significantly imbalance the
infrastructure - adding a 3oo unit devlopment from a private developer
which contains a few "affordable" units, helps, but can suddenly put the
population out of balance with the infrastructure which reduces the
quality of life for the population at large. When a locale becomes
difficult and frustrating to live in, people stop caring about it.
Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod is changing lives — one home at a time.
Local families put in hundreds of hours of “sweat equity” to build their
own homes alongside volunteers, creating stability and hope for
generations to come. Pride gets hammered right into the walls creating a
sense of accomplishment and success for the eventual owners, and the
people who help them and enables the people the community needs most to
live in and enjoy the communities they serve.
Your support helps make this possible. Every dollar goes toward building
safe, affordable homes right here in our community.
Please consider making a donation today.
Together, we can keep Cape Cod a place where everyone has a home.
