Habitat Greenville and Duke Energy have partnered to build ramps for seniors through a $15,000 grant. South Carolina’s senior population should never have to decide between the necessities of life and living out their golden years in safety in their own home. “Safety is the most important aspect of everything we do at Duke Energy, every day,” said Mike Callahan, Duke Energy’s South Carolina state president. “A simple safety improvement like building a ramp can make an enormous difference in the quality of life of our seniors. These grants will provide real freedom and security to the recipients of these services.”

Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build hope, communities, homes and a promising future for low-income families. Habitat Greenville relies on the support of Greenville County corporations, churches, organizations and volunteers to fulfill our mission towards breaking the cycle of generational poverty. Lack of affordable housing forces low-income families to live in substandard rental conditions, usually in unsafe neighborhoods. Habitat applicants are living below the standard poverty level and earn 30-60% of the area median income. These families often pay a large percentage towards rent and energy costs for substandard housing; leaving little money for food, health care, transportation and education. Habitat homes are built energy-efficient and Habitat homeowners pay a 0% mortgage held in-house by Habitat. This enables our families to build equity and change their financial trajectory. In turn, families are more secure and neighborhoods and communities are strengthened and improved. Homeownership also eliminates the need for families to move from rental to rental seeking lower housing costs, resulting in educational stability for children. According to a study by Harvard University, children raised in homes owned by their families are 116% more likely to pursue post-high school education! Habitat applicants must be employed for at least one year, complete an educational program provided at no cost to prepare for homeownership including courses such as budgeting, home maintenance, being a good neighbor and more. A minimum of 200 "sweat equity" hours must be completed; including work on their home, other Habitat homes and volunteering at non-profit organizations. We believe that every person has something to contribute and gain from creating communities in which all people have a safe, decent and affordable place to live. Habitat provides an opportunity to serve others by bringing people together to truly make a difference families' lives.

Decent, affordable shelter provides families with a place to gather and grow. Even more, by working with Habitat to achieve affordable homeownership, families can transform their lives. Affordable homeownership helps create the conditions that free families from stress and fear, helping build stability and confidence. Studies show that strong and stable households are foundational to child development and growth. When a home fosters — instead of hinders — health and safety, families can flourish. Owning an affordable home also allows homeowners to lift up their entire family by saving for their futures and investing in educational opportunities — bolstering job opportunities and long-term career growth. #habitatforhumanity #habitatgvl #affordablehousing #yeahthatgreenville #youcangreenville #greenvillesc #habitatgreenville #volunteer #supportinghabitat
