Thousands of volunteers will come together this week to build 27 homes in west Charlotte as part of the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project.

Habitat for Humanity chose Charlotte for this year's building site, helping build homes for neighbors in need. Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will be in Charlotte Monday to help lead the project, which begins construction Monday.

“It’s harder than ever to afford a home,” Brooks said.

The country stars took over as ambassadors of the work project after the Carters and will be lending their voices for the big build.

“We’ve learned a lot by building along them," Yearwood said.

“President Carter believed, as long as there’s one person on this planet without a roof over their head, Habitats job is not done. I have to agree with that,” Brooks said.

A piece of land in west Charlotte is getting new life as dozens of new houses begin to take shape. Thousands of volunteers will help build 27 homes at an affordable housing development near the airport where the Plato Price School once stood.
