More doors, more opportunities... work begins on another Habitat home.
Representatives and volunteers from 11 Greenville County credit unions came together on Sturdevant Street, February 25, 2026, to begin construction on another Habitat for Humanity home. The non-profit organization is in the business of creating affordable homes — while walking hand-in-hand with families as they move along the path to homeownership.
This year marks the second annual Credit Union Build... and while this special partnership is still growing, Habitat for Humanity has accomplished SO MUCH over its 40 years in Greenville County. The organization has "provided over 430 homes and provided over 330 home preservation projects," according to CEO LaTonya Phillips. [Official press release below]

Work starts on Credit Union Build for Habitat for Humanity of Greenville
GREENVILLE, SC – Representatives and volunteers from 11 local credit unions gathered on Sturtevant Street to raise a wall, but more importantly uplift a family on their path to homeownership.
“This is the second year of the Credit Union Build,” said LaTonya Phillips, CEO and President of Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County. “And it is another shining example of how we collaborate with others in the community to create more affordable housing options.”
Wednesday’s wall raising was at 101A Sturdevant, and is part of Habitat’s "Anniversary Collective" celebrating the affiliate’s 40th anniversary of building homes in Greenville.
Staff from Carolina Foothills Federal Credit Union, Spero Financial, Vizo Financial Corporate Credit Union, MTC Federal Credit Union, Greenville Federal Credit Union, Founders Federal Credit Union, South Carolina Federal Credit Union, Truliant Federal Credit Union, Family Trust Federal Credit Union, Greenville Heritage Credit Union, and CPM Federal Credit Union are taking part in the build. “Habitat Greenville helps strengthen our community by supporting affordable home ownership,” said Scott Weaver, President and Chief Executive Officer of Carolina Foothills Credit Federal Credit Union. “By working together, we are creating lasting change for families and neighborhoods.
Habitat Greenville began building on Sturtevant Street in the Bramlett community near White Horse Road in 2023 and has completed nine single family houses so far. The Credit Union Build will construct the first duplex for Habitat Greenville. “Our goal is to create more doors and opportunities,” Phillips said. “Duplex building is a model many other affiliates are going to, and we see them as a great opportunity.”
