On this National Day of Mourning for President Jimmy Carter, we remember the work he and wife Rosalynn Carter did to support affordable housing in Charlotte and throughout the country.

04/01/2025

In 1987, the Carter Work Project came to Charlotte, resulting in the construction of 14 affordable homes in the Optimist Park area and again in 2023 to build 27 homes, creating The Meadows at Plato Price neighborhood.

In honor of this work, Habitat Humanity of the Charlotte Region is honoring the late President with signed door frames. Visit any one of the organization's ReStore locations over the next several days to sign a stud and leave a message in honor of President Jimmy Carter.
