Meet our new Homeowner Services Coordinator
- Please join me in welcoming Monisha Ceasar to Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity as our Homeowner Services Coordinator. We are very excited that Monisha has joined the Homeowner Services department! She began working with us on March 15th and is already making a difference. Many of you have already had a chance to meet her, and I look forward for you all to get to know her. You will see that she has a kind heart and has a great passion for Habitat’s mission. She brings many strengths to our organization, and I know you’ll enjoying having her here to cheer you on as well. Some words of her own for you are: “I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve our families. I have a passion for helping and could not be more excited about my new career. I look forward to working with all of the families and community to assist in future homeownership. The work done at CFHFH is such a blessing!!” – Monisha
- You will begin to see some communication from Monisha related to various parts of the program, such as monthly financial meetings with Rhonda and your partnership hours.
- Effective May 1st, please send your pay and bank statements (and any other relevant financial documents) to HSC@Capefearhabitat.org before your monthly meeting with Rhonda. (This email is for the Homeowner Services Coordinator, Monisha Ceasar).
- Rhonda and I are still here and will be working with you as before. We are a growing organization, serving more and more families, so Monisha has joined us at the perfect time.
