Every home has a story – particularly this one

Haywood Habitat for Humanity and Long’s Chapel Church came together to remodel a Habitat home in the Lake Junaluska community for Lisa Horn and her two daughters.

Horn returned to the Waynesville area five years ago after ending an abusive marriage, and was struggling to support her daughters when she was approached by the Rev. Charles Wilson about her interest in being a Haywood Habitat for Humanity partner family. She qualified; and on July 10, Lisa Horn and friends gathered to dedicate her future home. Haywood Habitat is holding an open enrollment through July for prospective partner families. 828.452.7960.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
