Habitat for Humanity - Counties Utah

Restore: restore is a local social enterprise of Habitat that accepts and re-sells donations of gently used durable goods including building materials, appliances, furniture, and home furnishings. Additionally, in partnership with Habitat international, the restore sells new clothing, "boutique" items, and household goods. All restore revenues support Habitat's ability to plan and execute on its affordable housing and education programs, while also serving a significant social and environmental function, annually diverting more than 700 tons of waste from local landfills.

Affordable home ownership opportunities Habitat for Humanity completed construction of one single-family home in the silver creek village development and began construction for an additional 14 townhomes. These are all affordable homes that are built with support from our community. Two new homeowners were selected for the 10-unit townhome project. Our homeowners are selected through a competitive application process that includes comprehensive financial education and are all asked to contribute "sweat equity" during the construction process. Education programs our critical education programs prepare low and moderate-income buyers for homeownership. This program includes free financial workshops and multi- session online courses, free housing counseling integrating in-person and online resources, and free advocacy and one-on-one referrals in-person and by telephone. This robust program helps hard-working people achieve economic stability. In the past year we served more than 700 individuals and 315 households. Volunteer engagement to maximize the efficiency of program delivery in all our service areas, Habitat utilizes a team of dedicated volunteers. During the 2022-2023 fiscal year, Habitat recorded 2,422 volunteer hours from 114 volunteers.
