App Builds a Home group photo

App Builds a Home is a unique campus-wide partnership between App State and Watauga County Habitat for Humanity to help local partner families build safe, affordable homes. In the App State tradition of community partnerships, this home build is a tangible commitment to our community and an opportunity for a campus-wide project to bring together students, faculty, staff, and alumni to help build a home with a local family.

Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity partners with communities all over the world to help build and improve affordable homes. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With this support, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability, and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.

ABAH 2024 Homecoming Blitz Build Canceled

ABAH 2024 Homecoming Blitz Build Canceled

With heavy hearts, the ABAH team has decided to cancel the 2024 Homecoming Blitz Build due to the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene on our community. The High Country and Western NC need to be able to focus on safety, relief, and rebuilding in the face of such an impactful natural disaster.  

ABAH Home #6 is still in the works. We have a partner family and plan to build Home #6 in spring and summer 2025.
