Watauga Community Housing Trust helping community members participate in housing development!

Phase 2 Details:

  • This home is one of the longest-standing homes located within the historically-black Junaluska community.

  • Our estimated repair cost to keep the home structurally sound for the long-term is $71,000.

  • We are seeking fundraising and volunteer support to renovate and resell the home in 2024.

  • We have formed a project partnership with the Junaluska Heritage Association identify a Junaluska community member to purchase the home after repairs have been completed.

  • The home sale will be completed using the Housing Trust model, creating legal provisions to conserve the property as affordable housing now and for future generations.

We need your support:

  • We will be raising seeking support large and small from grant funders and other supporters until we have the home fully repaired and sold!

  • Your donation will go directly toward fixing the original home on the property for long-term affordable housing.

  • This project will permanently preserve this home as long-term housing for the Junaluska community.

  • Beyond this first home, this project will create a fund for future projects to create and conserve additional housing units through community partnerships.
