Habitat for Humanity of Durham builds homes and hope in Durham, North Carolina.

11/09/2026

497 HOMES. 497 FAMILIES. COUNTLESS DREAMS.
October ended with TWO more reasons to celebrate! Habitat for Humanity of Durham closed out the month of October by celebrating the closings of Homes #496 and #497! That means we are officially just THREE HOMES AWAY FROM 500! 🏠🏠🏠

Every closing represents a new beginning. A family receiving keys. A place to make memories. A foundation for generational wealth. And a reminder that affordable homeownership changes lives for generations.

As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, reaching Home #500 is more than a milestone. It's a testament to the dedication of our partner families, volunteers, donors, sponsors, staff, and community partners who continue to believe that everyone deserves a safe, decent, and affordable place to call home.

497 down. THREE to go. And we're not slowing down! 💪🏽❤️

Durham, we're building toward something BIG, and we can't wait to celebrate this historic milestone with you!

🏡 In Durham, All Roads Lead Home.

💙 Built for What's Next.

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.

🎩 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 [email protected]

*Stronger Foundations. Bigger Dreams. More Families Home.*

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.
