On Saturday, future home buyers from across New Castle County spent the morning with us at the Rt 9 Library & Innovation Center, and we are so grateful to everyone who came ready to learn.

Our team walked through how Habitat's 0% interest mortgage works, what it takes to apply, and how partner families invest 300 hours of sweat equity on their way to buying a home of their own. We also talked about how homeownership builds stability and wealth for a family over time, and every question asked in the room moved someone closer to their goal.

If you couldn't make it, there's a seat for you at our next seminar next month. Date coming soon! Stay tuned to register at habitatncc.org.

This Saturday, we're rocking the block in Wilmington, and we want you out there with us. Rock the Block starts with something simple: we pick up trash, clear sidewalks, and care for the streets our neighbors walk every day, because looking after a neighborhood is one of the clearest ways to show we care about the people we share it with.

Kids, parents, grandparents, and friends all have a place here, so bring out the youth and make it a family morning!

After the cleanup, stay for Trunk or Treat with candy, games, prizes, and a free meal, alongside Pastor Sandra Benson and Healthy Communities Delaware.

We rock the block because that's how you start.

📅 Saturday, October 24 | 8 AM to 1 PM
📍 Meet at 1920 Hutton Street, Wilmington
Free, but registration is required at habitatncc.org

From a Knock & Shock to a shovel in the ground. 🏡 Cynthia S. learned she’d been accepted into our homeownership program, and this month she broke ground at Masons Row on the block where her future home will be built. In her words, “I can now turn my last name into an asset.”

Your journey could start this Saturday, October 17, at our First-Time Homebuyer Seminar, 11:00 AM at the Route 9 Library in New Castle. Seats are limited, so register through the link in our bio, and send this to someone who’s ready.

Last week, seven members of our leadership team returned from the 2026 Habitat for Humanity Affiliate Conference in Atlanta with fresh ideas and renewed energy for the work ahead.

Four days of learning alongside Habitat professionals from across the country gave our team the chance to compare notes, ask hard questions, and bring proven strategies back to Delaware.

As we push into the final stretch of our 40th year, we're excited to put what we learned into practice for the families and partners we serve across New Castle County.

Together, we build. 💚
