Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County has been building affordable housing with low-income families since 1986. Since our inception, we have built 121  homes in areas throughout New Castle County including the City of Wilmington, Middletown, Newark, New Castle, and St. Georges. As a local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, we are largest affiliate in the Northeast (of over 210 affiliates from DE to Maine) in terms of home construction. Through our unique approach, we help low-income families break their cycle of poverty through the stability and empowerment gained through homeownership.

On Tuesday, May 6, 2008, more than 100 Bank of America associate volunteers and Habitat for Humanity of NCC joined together to frame two Habitat homes in Rodney Square.  The public build event helped to jump start the construction of 7 new Habitat homes at Miller's Row.  The effort reflects a longstanding commitment by Bank of America to create opportunities that enrich the lives of families throughout the region.

Crews of Bank of America volunteers spent all day in Rodney Square (from 8:00 a.m.- 4:00  p.m.) building wall panels for the future Habitat homes.   At the end of the day, the panels were transported to the Miller's Row site in Wilmington, where they will be used in the consturction of the 7 new town homes.
