Habitat for Humanity Greater Cincinnati

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati has provided affordable homeownership solutions to over 600 families in our region over the past 36 years. Home construction is at the heart of Habitat's mission. Through this program we focus on building new homes and refurbishing existing ones, and price them at fair market value to income-qualified homebuyers. A combination of private and public contributions, labor from volunteers and homebuyers, efficient building methods, donated construction materials and appliances, and zero-interest loans makes our homes affordable. 14 families closed on new homes and 3 on existing homes this year.our critical home repair program provides qualified families with significant home repairs, improving substandard housing conditions for those with limited financial resources. Critical repairs include accessibility modifications and essential health and safety improvements. 40 families were served through this program this year.

Managed a portfolio of approximately 300 mortgages during the current year for low-income families.

Our mission is sustained through a healthy mix of funding streams to support operating needs and growth goals, which includes five restores across our service area - bellevue, bond hill, cheviot, fairfield, and florence. Restores sell donated new and gently used furniture, appliances, home dcor, and building materials to the public at greatly reduced prices. Additionally, the restores keep tons of reusable building materials out of landfills each year.
