Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Habitat for Humanity aims to solve the issue of inadequate and affordable housing by providing families in need with decent, affordable places to live, primarily by building and repairing homes in partnership with the homeowners themselves, while also advocating for policy changes to address broader housing issues.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Homeownership
Households in need of a decent place to live build safe & affordable homes in partnership with us. Habitat houses are modestly sized. They are large enough for the household's needs, but small enough to keep construction & maintenance costs affordable. By using the labor of volunteers & prospective homeowners, employing efficient building methods, keeping house sizes modest, using donated construction materials & appliances, & issuing no-profit loans, Habitat makes its houses affordable for low-income households to purchase. Affordable homeownership helps create the conditions that free households from instability, stress, & fear & encourage self-reliance & confidence. During fiscal year 2025, Orange Habitat partnered with 16 households through its homeownership program.
Home Repair
Homeowners in need of home repairs on an existing home partner with us. This program aims to provide to wide range of opportunities for low to moderate-income homeowners, including veterans & seniors, who are struggling to maintain their existing homes because of age, disability, finances, or family circumstances. The program allows homeowners to stay in their home & avoid the uncertainty, trauma, & expense of moving. Projects consist of interior &/or exterior repairs intended to alleviate critical health, life, & safety issues or code violations. During fiscal year 2025, Orange Habitat partnered with 25 homeowners through its home repair program.
