A Historic Legacy

The Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project is an annual event which celebrates the impact that President & Mrs. Carter have had on Habitat for Humanity’s mission around the world. Over its nearly 40-year history, the Carter Work Project has traveled to 14 countries and brings together thousands of volunteers, celebrities, elected officials, and other VIPs to build homes and cast a global spotlight on the urgent importance of affordable housing. Twin Cities Habitat was one of the co-hosts in 2010, and it is a deep honor to bring this historic event to the Twin Cities once again.

2024 Carter Work Project Site: The Heights

The 2024 Carter Work Project launched Habitat’s construction efforts at The Heights, a major redevelopment of the 112-acre former Hillcrest Golf Course on St. Paul’s East Side. Twin Cities Habitat plans to build 147 homes at The Heights, making it our largest development to date. The broader development will be transformational for the East Side, delivering more than 1,000 housing units, 1,000 jobs, and a new community with greenspaces and amenities.
