Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity is a small, rural Habitat for Humanity affiliate working to build homes for low-income families in Western NC. Since the COVID-19 pandemic significantly increased construction expenses, Rutherford County Area Habitat for Humanity partnered with Dogwood to cover the cost increase of building materials. Savings are passed to the homeowner, ensuring affordability. A recently built home welcomed its new owners, a single father and his two girls, ages eight and six.
