Sandwich. Cotuit Road and Nauset Street. We expect to begin early infrastructure for this project in the late fall, early winter 2021/2022. There will be a total of three homes built, two at Cotuit Road and one at Nauset Street. If all goes well, we hope to raise walls on these homes in late summer, 2022.
Chatham. George Ryder Road South. We are planning to begin infrastructure work on this project in late fall 2021, and the two-home wall raising in 2022.
Brewster. 26 Red Top Road. We have submitted our 40B Comprehensive permit application for this two home project, in expectation of a September 14th hearing. We appreciate your support at these hearings. As details and dates can change, please check the Town of Brewster’s website to confirm the meeting and our placement on the agenda: https://brewster-ma.gov/committees-mainmenu-29/board-of-appeals-mainmenu-44 When permitted, we will look forward to a 2023 wall raising of two homes on this site.
Harwich. Murray Lane. Walls for six homes were raised on July 10th and work is progressing. We look forward to home dedications, summer 2022.
Falmouth. Willett Way. The foundations and septic systems are in for the first six homes, and we are making final preparations for a wall raising early October (6 homes) 2021 and phase 2 in May 2022 (4 homes.)
We continue our assessment of a number of sites in towns across the Cape. We are always on the lookout for suitable sites for Habitat homes. If you would like to consider the donation of a parcel of property, or know of a town owned site that might be suitable, please contact Beth Wade, Director of Land Acquisition & Project Development, at land@habitatcapecod.org or 508-362-3559 x24. Thank you!

Sometimes it is much easier to give $25 a month instead of a lump sum of $300. Habitat can charge your card each month until you want to stop, get a new card, or need to change the amount at any time.

Consider a LEGACY GIFT to Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod. You can help us do what we do today, even better, for generations to come. A planned gift is simple to arrange
and often returns benefits back to you.
For example, you can:
• Make a gift today that costs you nothing during your lifetime
• Receive guaranteed payments for life in return for your gift
• Donate life insurance you no longer need
• Give appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds
• Preserve your estate for your heirs and support a cause you care about
• Use a gift to reduce your estate tax exposure and eliminate capital gains
• Donate your house or vacation property, take a tax
deduction and continue to use the property for as long as you’d like
For more information please contact Ginny Irving, Director of Resource Development 508-362-3559 ext. 28 ginny@habitatcapecod.org

We believe deeply in the mission of HHCC — and we have abiding confidence in the exceptional staff. We want to leave a bit of our heritage to several lasting causes, and it has simply made sense to include HHCC. This chapter does remarkable and lasting good here on the Cape, meeting a need which surely will continue long into the foreseeable future. Lives have been, and will continue to be, profoundly changed for the better and in a long-lasting way — simply by the provision of safe, affordable, stable, and eco-friendly housing. - Dr. Rob and Bev Park |
