Charlotte County Habitat For Humanity builds 500th home

Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity has raised its 500th home by partnering with TEAM Punta Gorda. They are closer to keeping to making sure that those in need in Charlotte County can be homeowners too. Charlotte County’s chapter was established in 1987 and raises about 30 homes per year.

TEAM and Habitat have partnered for many projects over the years. TEAM’s CEO Nancy Johnson said, “If organizations had best friends, TEAM Punta Gorda and Charlotte County Habitat would be best friends for sure!”

Charlotte County Habitat’s CEO Mike Mansfield said, “Not many Habitat affiliates get to celebrate the milestone of building 500 homes. We are truly blessed by the support of our community. We would not be able to help as many families as we do if we didn’t have the support of such wonderful volunteers and donors.”

The future homeowner, Fabiola, was excited to work with TEAM PG to help with this milestone project. “I was so excited last night that I couldn’t even sleep,” she said.

Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity says they’ll continue their work in ensuring that the “American Dream” of homeownership is a possibility for everyone.
