Building on Faith is Habitat for Humanity’s annual celebration of our faith partnerships. Without the support of our area faith groups and congregations, we could not provide safe, decent affordable homes for low-income families to purchase.  

On Saturday, June 1, at 10:30AM, we will break ground on this Building on Faith home for the Owens family! The address is 8 Fulton Street in Hampton, Virginia. We hope to see you there!

On Thursday, May 23 at 10 a.m., we will break ground on the home named in honor of 2012 Tysinger Motor Company Citizens of the Year, Dr. Robert and Candy Snyder!

This gorgeous home, sponsored and built by Newport News Shipbuilding, is under construction in Phoebus! We created this house design to match the neighborhood.

Habitat doesn't normally build two story homes in order to keep our volunteers safe, but we do want to blend in with the communities in which we build. The neighborhood also has many Victorian-style homes, which we wanted to match.

This will be home to the Wynder family!

Join us for a fundraiser, a party and a great time! There will be a New Orleans-style menu, music and dancing, live and silent auctions and photo booth!

Tickets are $75 per person for admission before Feb 15. After Feb 15, tickets are $100 per person.

The excited homeowner is Laurena Morisset, who was born and raised in Haiti and moved to America in 1998. She lives and works in Williamsburg.  Laurena has three children that live with her.  Ana, age 20, had an unfortunate case of meningitis as a child that has left her with symptoms akin to cerebral palsy.  Her daughter, Marguerite is 17 and will be a senior at War Hill High School in the fall.  Laurena’s youngest; Ishmael age 12 will be in the 8th grade at Hornsby Middle School in the fall.  The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home will be fully accessible so Ana can live at home safely with her family.  

Anheuser-Busch is the leading American brewer, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the leading global brewer.  Anheuser-Busch InBev ranked No. 1 among beer companies in FORTUNE Magazine's World’s Most Admired Companies list in 2011.
