Carney Place Subdivision Paul Reeves – Director of Construction Services

Established in 1983, Asheville Habitat for Humanity is the second Habitat Store in the nation. Our mission is to provide new and repaired homes for families in need. With the help of volunteers, we have served 50 families in FY15 and aim to serve 58 families in FY16. However, we face challenges such as securing project funding, acquiring land, and rising construction costs. We are excited about our partnership with Cedar Hill Project and upcoming projects in Shiloh Community and Arden. Contact Paul Reeves for more information.
