Affordable housing is a hot topic right now, and with the leadership of Cape Fear Habitat President & CEO, Marlowe Foster, Cape Fear HabiChat is taking the leap to discuss the crisis.
As we speak with local advocates and officials, you'll hear stories of hope and transformation as we delve into what it takes to close the affordable housing gap.
We're excited to have Charlie and Robin, our 2025 and 2026 Construction MVP volunteers, respectively, on the podcast this week! Hear how they got started volunteering, their favorite part of the process, and their favorite memories on site.
