DURHAM, N.C., Feb. 5, 2026 - Higharc, the connected homebuilding platform modernizing product development from concept to production, today announced a partnership with Homes for HOPE, a builder-founded nonprofit that mobilizes the building industry to address global poverty. Through this partnership, Higharc will support Homes for HOPE’s mission to expand economic opportunity for underserved families around the world.
Homes for HOPE partners with the building industry to invest in underserved families around the world through sustainable, market-based solutions. Often described as “entrepreneurs investing in entrepreneurs,” the program enables the building industry to leverage its work, expertise, and resources to help families build holistic long-term stability.
“Our mission at Higharc is to improve the quality and affordability of homes,” said Marc Minor, CEO at Higharc. “Homes for HOPE shares a similar belief that housing and construction can be a powerful force for good. By supporting a model that reinvests the success of the building industry into microenterprise and lending programs, we’re able to align our giving with industry growth and help create meaningful, long-term opportunities for families and communities around the world.”
For more than 25 years, Homes for HOPE has worked alongside HOPE International to address global, generational poverty by expanding access to capital, training, and financial services for small business owners in underserved communities. Its innovative programs enable the building industry to turn designated domestic home projects into long-term investments in human potential.
“Higharc is changing how homes move from idea to reality by reimagining how they are designed, estimated, sold, and built,” said Matthew Baehr, Executive Director at Homes for HOPE. “That same mindset is embedded in our work at Homes for HOPE. Together, we believe the building industry can apply innovation not only to how homes are built, but to how opportunity is created far beyond a single project or market.”
As a partner, Higharc’s support will help advance Homes for HOPE’s programs that empower entrepreneurs to grow businesses, support their families, and strengthen their local economies. The partnership underscores a shared vision: that innovation in housing and construction can—and should—contribute to a more equitable future.
