Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. Habitat seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Our church has partnered extensively with Habitat in Orange County and in Guatemala. Once again this fall, we will be building a house from scratch in Hillsborough. Volunteers will be needed with building on site, feeding the builders, and paying for materials.

Covenant Place

Covenant Place is a 40-unit facility of supportive housing that was developed by a partnership between United Church of Chapel Hill, New Covenant Christian UCC and the United Church Retirement Homes. It is underwritten by a program of the Department of Housing and Urban Development that offers assistance to senior citizens (62+) whose income is under $20,000.

Shepherd House

Shepherd House is a 66-bed assisted living facility developed by the same partnership. It is now managed by Salem Senior Services, but its mission continues to be as a place of care inclusive of those with economic need.
