Students will be immersed in Asheville’s vibrant arts culture, incredible food scene, and miles of scenic trails while contributing to hands-on work that strengthens our community. Affordable housing has long been one of Asheville’s most urgent challenges, and the need has only intensified in the wake of 2024’s devastating tropical storm – Hurricane Helene. With median home prices over $590,000, rents above $1,500, and vacancy rates near 1%, many Asheville families struggle to find safe, stable housing. Hurricane Helene has only intensified this need, driving greater demand for repairs, accessibility upgrades, and long-term recovery support. Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity partners with families to build and preserve affordable housing through volunteer labor, homebuyer sweat equity, green building methods, and no-profit mortgages capped at 30% of income. Our Home Repair program also plays a critical role in helping long-time residents remain safely in their homes – an effort now more important than ever after the storm’s impact. A Collegiate Challenge week offers students the chance to learn new skills, forge meaningful connections, and play a direct role in Asheville’s ongoing recovery and resilience, while creating memories that last far beyond spring break.

Students will be immersed in Asheville’s vibrant arts culture, incredible food scene, and miles of scenic trails while contributing to hands-on work that strengthens our community. Affordable housing has long been one of Asheville’s most urgent challenges, and the need has only intensified in the wake of 2024’s devastating tropical storm – Hurricane Helene. With median home prices over $590,000, rents above $1,500, and vacancy rates near 1%, many Asheville families struggle to find safe, stable housing. Hurricane Helene has only intensified this need, driving greater demand for repairs, accessibility upgrades, and long-term recovery support. Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity partners with families to build and preserve affordable housing through volunteer labor, homebuyer sweat equity, green building methods, and no-profit mortgages capped at 30% of income. Our Home Repair program also plays a critical role in helping long-time residents remain safely in their homes – an effort now more important than ever after the storm’s impact. A Collegiate Challenge week offers students the chance to learn new skills, forge meaningful connections, and play a direct role in Asheville’s ongoing recovery and resilience, while creating memories that last far beyond spring break.
