This growth is only possible with partners like you. Every gift strengthens neighborhoods, supports families, and helps build a more stable, inclusive community. Thank you for believing in housing that puts people first.

Three families are currently under contract to purchase CHT homes. We look forward to welcoming them home soon!
Four homes are currently available and being matched to approved buyers in our home buying program. Two more CHT homes will be available for resale soon, and even more new construction homes are on the way!
Later this month, we’ll break ground on Homestead Gardens, an innovative collaboration with the Town of Chapel Hill, Habitat for Humanity, and CASA. The development will provide 117 affordable units, with 21 new townhomes added to CHT’s permanently affordable housing inventory.
