See What's Happening at Berkeley Habitat

At Berkeley Habitat, our mission to create safe, affordable housing wouldn't be possible without the unwavering support of our community. One standout partner who has been with us every step of the way is the First Presbyterian Church of Moncks Corner. Their dedication and generosity have been instrumental in helping us achieve our goals and make a real difference in the lives of those we serve.

Lakisha, a determined single mom, and her three amazing kids are on a journey towards a brighter and better future. Balancing a full-time job to provide for her family, Lakisha is a powerhouse! She has a 16-year-old son, a 14-year-old daughter, and a lively 5-year-old daughter, each bringing their own spark to the family dynamic. Together, the Taylors have faced challenges head-on in their quest for stability. Back in 2017, Lakisha made the brave decision to leave an unhealthy situation in Georgia and moved to Berkeley County to be closer to family. By 2018, she secured a 2-bedroom apartment. Though cozy, the space has its limits, offering no storage and posing safety concerns due to a volatile neighborhood nearby. Despite these hurdles, the Taylor family has remained steadfast, yearning for a safe, spacious, and affordable haven to call their own. Their resilience and hope led them to Habitat for Humanity. With the generous support of Habitat’s volunteers and donors, the Taylor family’s dream of a safe and affordable home is now within reach! Surrounded by a supportive community, they're ready to break free from their cramped living situation and step into a world full of promise and possibility. "I'm just grateful to be in the program and to go through this process," Lakisha shares. "I am learning a lot. I'm just happy that my children will get their own space."

We are thrilled to welcome the Clayton family to their new home!

As Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County continues its mission to provide affordable housing solutions, stories like Stephanie's serve as a reminder of our unwavering commitment to building stronger, more resilient communities.

The 3rd annual Playhouse Project was held on Saturday, December 3 at the Lowe’s Distribution Center on Daniel Island. In partnership with Lowe’s Home Improvement, Berkeley Habitat along with the other local affiliates - Charleston Habitat, Dorchester Habitat, East Cooper Habitat, and Sea Island Habitat - came together to provide playhouses for children in need in the tri-county area.

It was a gorgeous sunny day at Berkeley Country Club, and our 17 teams finished their rounds late afternoon with fervor. Thank you to everyone who came out and golfed with us, along with our many contributing sponsors!

Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County partnered with The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s (NRMCA) Build with Strength Coalition to construct a new affordable, low carbon home in Moncks Corner utilizing insulating concrete forms (ICFs), a sustainable, noncombustible concrete building system that reduces upfront construction expenses while maximizing the structure’s durability and energy performance to save homeowners long-term costs on utilities and insurance.
