Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver

Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver, Inc. is an affordable homeownership program. We build new and rehabilitate existing homes to sell to partner families whose income is 80% or less of the area median income. Through the neighborhood revitalization program, we also provide critical exterior repairs to qualifying homeowners. In fy23, Habitat built and sold 20 homes and 26 renovated homes and continued the home repair program with 101 homes. We also supported the construction of 88 homes with Habitat for Humanity partners around the world. Altogether, we served 254 families in fy23.continued on schedule o.families apply to participate in our homeownership program, and those who qualify are: 1) currently in need of decent, stable, and affordable housing, 2) meet our financial requirements, and 3) willing to help build their home and meet other partnership requirements. Our homeowner families participate in home buyer education classes which help foster increased economic independence and self-reliance, and they also contribute sweat-equity to help build their own home, as well as the homes of other Habitat families. Homes are sold with no profit motive, using below-market interest rate loans. Their monthly mortgage payment helps to fund more Habitat homes.

The Habitat restores supply new and used building materials donated by individuals, manufacturers, businesses and contractors at affordable prices to the Metro Denver community. The restores support the development of decent affordable housing for hard-working, low-income families. We keep valuable items out of landfills, recycle usable goods, support the vision of eradicating poverty housing and offer opportunities for individuals and groups to volunteer.
