What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Families across the United States pay too much for their home. Rent and homeownership costs are skyrocketing, and wages are not keeping pace. Families should never have to spend more than 30% of their income on a home. Unfortunately, even before the COVID19 pandemic, over 18 million households were paying half or more of their income on a place to live. Habitat Cape May will act swiftly by increasing housing production, enhance homeowner stability and influence policies and systems that improve and promote housing supply and preservation and create communities of opportunity. No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve to have a decent life. We deserve to feel strength and stability day after day. We deserve to know we have the power to take care of ourselves and build our own futures. With just a little help, families can achieve the positive outcomes made possible by having a strong roof over their heads and a solid foundation under their feet.

Charting impact

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

See our Building IMPACT 3 year plan.

Improved financial oversight and administration has demonstrated an ability to move forward that is unprecedented. Utilizing third party mortgage financing has allowed Habitat CM to reinvest home sale revenue immediately back into home production and continues to cycle throughout our construction plans. The expected revenue loss on each home, in order for it to remain affordable to the buyer, is supplemented by a strong and successful resale operation in our ReStore.

Six months into year one of the three year plan, when this was written, we have accomplished four of the nine Habitat CM objectives toward our three year goals. As a small affiliate, doubling housing production is monumental. To have land prepared to build and synchronize the application and selection process of partner families in need, who also qualify for mortgage financing, is tricky at best. We have taken measures that result in better process and orchestration of building a home with a volunteer workforce and a partner family in need. As we continue to develop better systems, we can filter in shorter, smaller projects to help keep current homeowners in a stable and safe environment that meets their needs.
