Habitat for Humanity - Bergen County HFH

Home building program - Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County builds affordable homes in northern new jersey using volunteer labor. We are both the builder and the banker for these homes and are committed to selecting and training the partner fafmilies to become successful homeowners and neighbors. The effort to build a new home (or an existing remodel) is considerable and takes time. The rewards of seeing a well-made home are inspiring all of our home locations. Families in homeownership are key to fulfilling our mission. Volunteers build a Habitat home and create an affordable home where none existed. We work with homebuyers to help change their lives. Construction expenses are recognized in the year a home is completed and sold. Expenses include expenditures made in prior years. Revenue is net of unamortized discounts attributable to the zero rate financing we offered on new homes completed.

Restore program - the Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County restore program is a retail outlet that sells donated new and gently used furniture, appliances and building supplies. The program benefits the community by providing lower-cost items for sale, and the environment by keeping items out of the landfills. The restore has a positive environmental impact by encouraging "reduce, reuse and recycle" donations to the restore have kept tons of usable building materials, furniture, and appliances out of landfills. Net proceeds derived from the restore program are used to build affordable housing for local families. Purchases and donations to the restore help families build strength, stability and self-reliance.
