Mission: Seeking to put god's love into action, habitat for humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience with people everywhere.
Programs: In the fiscal year ended september 30, 2017, habitat sold 58 homes to low-income families, while keeping their total monthly payments at or below 30% of their income. The majority of the 23 rehabilitated houses were acquired whereas, 35 were new construction. Throughout the year, over 5,972 of habitat volunteers assisted. Rehabilitating existing housing stock also has the effect of stabilizing neighborhoods and integrating low-income families more seamlessly into their community.
habitat's restore exists to provide revenue for our affordable home ownership mission, and to provide home furnishings, appliances, building materials and other items to our homeowners and the general public at a greatly reduced cost. Homeowners are given a discount at the store. Businesses and individuals donate new and used items to the store. Homeowners and others volunteer in the store work to gain hours toward their sweat equity requirements and keep the operating expenses as low as possible. During the fiscal year there were an estimated 556 volunteers who come several times a week and have logged in a total of just over 15,300 hours.
during the fiscal year october 1, 2016 to september 30, 2017, our senior housing complex had a 98% occupancy rate. These affordable rental units assisted 130 different households.
