In 2010 Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (HHOC) will begin building Phoenix Place, a well-designed, affordable subdivision of green-certified homes within the Rogers Road community in Chapel Hill.
Phoenix Place will provide the opportunity of homeownership to 50 local families who otherwise would be unable to purchase a home in Orange County.
Habitat for Humanity of Orange County plans to partner with other local housing providers to sell homes to families who earn 60%—80% of the area median income. This collaboration will result in a more economically diverse community on nearly 20 acres.
POZEN Inc., a Chapel Hill based pharmaceutical company, is celebrating its great success by giving back to their community. In April, POZEN Inc. received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its migraine drug, Treximet™, developed in partnership with GlaxoSmithKline. Shortly thereafter, POZEN Inc. contacted HHOC about sponsoring a home in Orange County.
Employees felt that working with Habitat would be a meaningful way for them to celebrate their hard work and success, as well as a way to make a significant and tangible difference in their community. In addition, POZEN Inc. and its CEO are the sole sponsors of their home, fully funding its materials cost at $70,000.
