Two Habitat for Humanity homeowners are better off because of help from the North Carolina State Court of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas.
The first house was in eastern North Carolina in the Diocese of Raleigh, where the CDA worked with Crystal Coast Habitat for Humanity to refurbish a house that had severe water damage from 2018’s Hurricane Florence. Fourteen Catholic Daughters, including three state officers, worked one hot day in August to install insulation in the house.
The second house, in the Diocese of Charlotte, was a new build through Habitat for Humanity of Cabarrus County. Because of the pandemic, the Catholic Daughters were not allowed to work at the site, but they were in continuous contact with the Habitat staff and the homeowner, and kept Catholic Daughters throughout the state aware of the build’s progress.
The State Court donated $10,000 each to Crystal Coast Habitat for Humanity and Habitat for Humanity of Cabarrus County. National Habitat for Humanity funding of $10,000 was split between the Habitat affiliates, giving $5,000 to each. The State Court donated a little over $3,300 to each of the homeowners to help with new furnishings for their homes. On June 5, 11 Catholic Daughters including one state officer presented the last $3,300 check to the homeowner in the Charlotte area.
