James Street Project Reaches Major Milestone with Duplex Delivery

James Street Project Reaches Major Milestone with Duplex Delivery

On February 4 and 5, a modular duplex was delivered and installed on the foundation at our James Street site, marking a major milestone in this project. Over the coming weeks, our Construction Team and dedicated volunteers will begin the process of completing the homes in preparation for welcoming two new homeowners. The project is expected to take several months to complete.

This duplex will create safe, affordable homeownership opportunities for two families, providing stability and a strong foundation for the future. Thanks to the support of community partners, volunteers, and donors, the vision is quickly becoming reality, and we look forward to welcoming two families home to Whitehouse Station.

Tee Off for a Great Cause

This is a Past Event

Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity is proud to present our annual Golf Fore Homes Charity Golf Outing, a day of great golf, great company, and an even greater cause. This year’s event will take place on May 4, 2026, at the beautiful New Jersey National Golf Club in Basking Ridge, NJ, with registration beginning at 10:00 AM. The outing brings together community members, sponsors, and supporters to help build and repair safe, affordable homes for families in our region.

Every swing, every putt, and every sponsorship helps make a lasting impact. Funds raised through Golf Fore Homes support critical home repairs, accessibility improvements, and affordable housing initiatives that help local families live in safe, healthy, and stable homes. It’s a powerful way to enjoy a day on the course while directly supporting our income-insecure neighbors.

Golfers will enjoy a full day of activities, including an 18-hole scramble format, contests, prizes, and raffles throughout the course. The event also includes lunch, refreshments, a BBQ dinner, and an awards reception, making it as enjoyable off the course as it is on it. Whether you’re playing to win or just playing for fun, the outing offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for golfers of all skill levels.

Golf Fore Homes is more than just a tournament—it’s a community tradition and an opportunity to come together for a meaningful purpose. We invite golfers, sponsors, and supporters to join us for a memorable day and help us continue building strength, stability, and self-reliance through housing.
