Builds
Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod has built over 180 affordable homes in all 15 towns on Cape Cod.
In 2023, we completed construction of three homes in Falmouth (Willett Way, Phase 2,) two homes in Chatham, and three homes in Sandwich. In fall of 2024, we completed construction on two homes in Brewster.
2024:
Jack Delaney Lane, Dennis. From September 23rd to 27th, the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Cape Cod (HBRACC) will build ONE HOME, FOR ONE FAMILY, IN ONE WEEK. Professional builders and their vendors donate all the labor, materials, and supplies for this affordable home which will be purchased by a local family with an affordable mortgage. This “Blitz House” will be the first of four, 3 bedroom homes (two, 2-story Capes and two, 1-story ranches) built on this site. At completion the homes will be sold at very affordable prices to those at 60-80% of AMI (area median income). Eligible purchasers are identified through an application and lottery selection process. We are planning wall raisings (the volunteer portion of our build) for the other three homes later this fall. These homes will be energy-efficient and solar-equipped homes. They were permitted on an infill lot, as a dense pocket neighborhood, conveniently located adjacent to Dennis’ Center for Active Living and many Town amenities.
Old Kings Highway, Wellfleet. Infrastructure is nearly complete, and this fall we will be raising the walls on four homes (two, 2-bedroom and two, 3 bedroom ranches) in this newly created, rural outer-Cape neighborhood. At completion the homes will be sold at very affordable prices to those at 60-80% of AMI (area median income). Eligible purchasers are identified through an application and lottery selection process. The neighborhood abuts the National Seashore with easy access to all it offers. Both fresh and saltwater beaches are within biking distance. The site is just a short drive to downtown Wellfleet. The homes will be energy-efficient and solar equipped. Special care was taken to conserve natural forest duff which was spread and replanted at the subdivision entry. In keeping with surrounding homes, and the pine land eco-system, there will be natural Cape Cod lawns and native plant landscapes.
Upcoming Projects
R1121 Main Street/Wood Road Yarmouth
HHCC purchased a lot at 1121 Main Street and Wood Road with funds from the Yarmouth Affordable Housing Trust Funds. We are working through the permitting process for a six-home build and will be submitting to the site review and design review committees in July. We expect permitting to be completed sometime this fall, with infrastructure to follow. Special thanks to the Town of Yarmouth for making this project possible!805 Gifford Street Ext, Falmouth
Located behind our Falmouth ReStore. We have entered the Local Initiative Project (LIP) application period, with our LIP Review Committee meeting scheduled for Monday, June 24th. We hope to be fully permitted this fall. With infrastructure work to begin in early 2025.164 Route 149, Marstons Mills
We are waiting on the approval of a purchase and sale agreement from the town. The permitting and build timeline will be determined once that is completed.48 Benjamin Nyes Lane, Falmouth
We continue working on this joint project with The 300 Committee Land Trust. We continue in a period of due diligence and feasibility studies. We are also completing acquisition funding applications, and in early permitting discussions. If all goes well, we hope to close on the property in January 2026, with infrastructure work to begin soon after.3571 Main Street, Brewster
We are working with the Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT) toward the acquisition of a lot adjacent to a newly conserved area which will be used for a two-home build. We are in early discussions with the Town regarding funding for acquisition and permitting. We hope to close on the property next August 2025.
Got Land?
We are always looking for suitable sites for Habitat Cape Cod homes. And we are currently targeting land acquisition in Sandwich.
