Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To provide safe and affordable housing to low- to moderate-income families in Garland County.

GCHFH builds between 6-8 homes in the Hot Springs, Arkansas area each year. GCHFH hopes to expand our organization through a building that will allow our home construction program to expand as well as keep program material costs to a minimum.

With three area ReStores, funding from sponsors and individual donors, discounted or donated building materials, and volunteer labor GCHFH is able to keep the cost of building homes to a reasonable and affordable amount.

GCHFH has completed 157 houses in Garland County to date.
