Homes will be built or renovated in all of North Carolina's 100 counties thanks to a $10 million agreement between the SECU Foundation and Habitat for Humanity North Carolina.
The SECU Foundation is the charitable and development arm of the $29 billion State Employees' Credit Union in Raleigh, N.C.
The SECU Habitat Challenge was launched to spark the partnerships and affiliations that will expand Habitat across the Tar Heel State, according to both entities.
