FALMOUTH, MA—Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod has teamed up with the Cape Cod British Car Club to raise funds to build more affordable homes on Cape Cod with local families. On Saturday, May 11th, from 12:30 to 3 PM at the Falmouth ReStore (805 Gifford Street Ext., Falmouth), the Cape Cod British Car Club will host a classic and modern car show with a 50/50 raffle, a best-in-car contest, and Hank’s Franks will be grilling free hot dogs on-site. This will be a fun and family-friendly event for all ages to enjoy, and as always, there are plenty of great finds at the Falmouth ReStore, including the new Stitch & Style section. The generosity of the Cape Cod British Car Club made this event possible, and Habitat Cape Cod is grateful for the club’s support of our homebuilding program.
Homeownership applications are now available for Dennis and Wellfleet homes with a submission deadline of Monday, May 13, 2024; applicants can visit habitatcapecod.org for more information. Future homebuyers build their homes alongside volunteers, donors, sponsors, and the community, then purchase the home for an affordable price when finished and will have an affordable mortgage. The homes are deed-restricted to remain affordable in perpetuity.
Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod has completed over 180 homes on Cape Cod and is currently building in Brewster and will begin new builds this fall in Dennis and Wellfleet. More builds are planned for Yarmouth, Marstons Mills, Falmouth, and beyond. Local homebuyers are chosen after a long application process and a drawing of qualified applicants; future homeowners put sweat equity into their homes and purchase the homes with an affordable mortgage. Homes are deed-restricted to remain affordable in perpetuity. Habitat Cape Cod homes are energy-efficient and generate more energy than the homes use. These homes also have a sustainable landscape to align with Cape Cod’s delicate ecosystem. Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod has been recognized nationally for creating and producing energy-efficient affordable homes.
