This is the first home Jenkins owns, and it comes from Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity, the New Hanover County affiliate of the Christian housing ministry. The international nonprofit provides volunteers, building materials and affordable mortgages for those making 30 to 60 percent of the area's median income.
Jenkins likes to help build her own house - a requirement of homeowners in the program - and learn to fix things herself. She said she's glad she's getting this before the New Hanover affiliate has to leave Navassa, where it has built houses and relationships for the past four years.
She said she doubts the efficacy of Habitat's Brunswick County affiliate, which has now decided to take over building in Navassa and elsewhere in northern Brunswick, where it has jurisdiction. Its executive director said it got the New Hanover affiliate to build there temporarily because it didn't have the resources to serve the area until now.
