Habitat CFC activities in the local area include more than just building homes for deserving families. It also includes: managing the construction, providing mortgage banking services for homeowners, performing real estate site selections, building community partnerships, fundraising, and selecting and supporting qualified families with social services. In 25 years, Habitat CFC built more than 160 homes and refurbished 10 others for nearly 700 families living throughout the Coastal Fairfield County region.
