Tabitha * Moved into her Habitat home in 2020The main thing that Habitat means to me is stability, not only in just a home but also for the future, for the future of my daughter, for the future of my family. Which is also the future for our communities and our world in general.

Ever wonder who’s behind the posts you double-tap, the stories that tug your heart, or the newsletter you’re reading right now? Meet our Pearce Center interns—Habitat’s behind-the-scenes storytellers. From snapping pics in the dirt to editing on deadline to interviewing our community partners with mic-in-hand curiosity, they’re using their communication superpowers to build more than homes. Come spend a day in their shoes (or at least their Google Docs).
While some interns take notes, our Construction Intern, Jacob Lesley takes charge on-site, on-task, and hands-on. Whether it’s coordinating volunteers, hauling materials, or keeping our build days running smooth, he plays a key role in making real progress possible. Our homes don’t rise without help, and this intern is proof that every hour counts.
The cost of building a home in Pickens County has surged nearly 60% since 2020. That’s not just a financial strain, it’s a direct threat to affordable homeownership in our community. In this article, we break down what that spike really means for families, for our work, and for the role annual giving plays in keeping the mission alive. Because for us, this isn’t theoretical. It’s personal. And it’s urgent.
