Program areas at Habitat for Humanity New York City and Westchester County

Housing preservation programs: we cannot build our way out of our affordable housing crisis, which is why it is critical for us to work with existing tenant-owned affordable buildings to keep them affordable for generations to come. Our housing preservation program is a holistic program that works with individual buildings on their specific needs, providing low-cost services from construction, financial education, legal monitoring and more. for the fiscal year ended june 2023, our housing preservation program served 1,102 households through our post-purchase services and technical assistance preservation work. We completed 5 construction preservation services contracts resulting in approximately 159 individuals served. Projects included scope items such as: hallway repairs and painting in common areas, roof preservations and replacements; fire escape repairs, repair and waterproofing of building facades; interior unit and hallway window repair; concrete replacement; and more . These services, provided at an affordable cost to the co-op, keep costs low and ensure that residents can remain in their homes. The Habitat nyc community fund closed 4 loans serving a total of 31 households.
Waste diversion: the Habitat for Humanity restore in woodside, queens is the store that helps build homes and reduce waste! The restore accepts gently-used or New donated overstock and second-hand items, such as furniture, appliances, home decor and building materials to sell at reduced prices. By the end of fiscal year june 2023, the restore had diverted 2,816 tons of waste from the landfill. Proceeds support Habitat nyc and Westchester's work to build and preserve homes for hard-working, low-income families.
First-time homebuyer program: homeownership is essential for families to build strength, stability and self-determination. With so many families being priced out of an increasingly expensive rental market, we believe that hard-working New yorkers deserve access to purchase a safe, affordable home. That's why developing both single-family homes and multi-family buildings for low-to moderate-income New yorkers is at the very heart of our mission. for the fiscal year ended june 2023, we completed and sold 1 home in the bronx and 6 homes in brooklyn. We continued with the construction of nyc's first New construction project on interboro community land trust. 13 vacant, dilapidated houses were demolished and are being transformed into 13 modular and 3 rehabilitated solar powered, net zero, permanently affordable homes to be sold to qualified homebuyers. Habitat nyc and Westchester continued to develop an extensive pipeline of 421 housing units. All locations are financed by private contributions and public subsidies provided by the City and state of New York.
Advocacy: Habitat nyc and Westchester plays a critical role in housing policy reform to benefit New yorkers across the five boroughs. Working with supportive advocates and partners at the local, state and federal level, we advocate for housing policies that drive Habitat nyc and Westchester's mission of building and preserving our hard-working communities. New yorkers can use their voices to join in our efforts to build and preserve a more equitable City. As a result of our advocacy efforts, in fiscal year 2023, Habitat nyc and Westchester helped craft and introduce legislation to preserve expiring affordable housing units and advance a statewide housing compact to increase the housing supply, incentivize transit-oriented development, and require all municipalities to build housing. Habitat nyc and Westchester was also instrumental in the passage of the nys housing affordability, resiliency, and energy efficiency act, which modernized nyc's affordable housing lending authority to respond to climate change, homeownership lending, and partnerships with community land trusts.
Volunteer engagement: many of our programs depend upon the support of volunteers who donate their time and service. for the fiscal year ended june 2023, we worked with approximately 1,159 volunteers from the construction site to community spaces across New York. We also offer pathways to deepen engagement with our mission through leadership driven opportunities and special events. The operational costs of our volunteer program are financed through private institutions and individual donors.
Community preservation program: we worked with organizations in low-income neighborhoods making capital improvements to public spaces through our community preservation program. The program served two community spaces through the fiscal year ended june 2023 and has revitalized 208 neighborhood spaces in its tenure. Volunteers paint and make light repairs in publicly used facilities such as senior centers, soup kitchens, gyms, lunchrooms, and classrooms for after school programs. We improve the lives of thousands of low-income residents, including registered and drop-by users of these programs. The operational costs of the neighborhood revitalization program are funded through private contributions.
