Recently, I had the good fortune of meeting a general contractor who works for a non-profit organization called Builders of Hope in Raleigh, NC. This organization moves homes that ordinarily would be torn down to other locations where they can be designated as affordable housing. (In Raleigh and surrounding areas, housing prices average more than $220,000, according to stats published from the local Board of Realtors.)

For those who have clients who think they may not be able to afford housing in the Triangle, you may wish to contact Builders of Hope. The Community is called Barrington Village and is located approximately 15 minutes from downtown Raleigh. View Site Plans and amenities at: http://buildersofhopenc.org/community.html

The Website indicates that applicants qualify if their income is $55,840 or below. which is 80 percent of the Raleigh median household income.

The organization has numerous partnerships in the community including: Wells Fargo, Fidelity Bank, Raleigh Area Development Authority (RADA), and Raleigh Rescue Mission.

What a great service all of these organizations are doing for the community.

Happy Selling!
