Collins is responsible for constructing multi-story, multi-family affordable housing buildings in the developments of Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, NC. Most of his time on site in this full-time role is spent teaching, leading, and supervising a diverse volunteer base in construction work. Partner Families of Habitat&#8217;s Homeownership Program have the opportunity to purchase one of the homes we build with an affordable mortgage. These families apply for the program and are qualified by having a demonstrable need for affordable housing, their willingness to partner, and the established ability to pay an affordable mortgage. The program requires 275 hours of sweat equity by Partner Families, much of which is accomplished with Rev. Collins and the other site supervisors in construction of the very homes that they and their neighbors will be living in. The program creates a path to access decent, affordable, clean, safe, and energy-efficient housing where it would have otherwise been out of reach for the families in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
