Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in approximately 70 countries. Habitat’s vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Habitat works toward our vision by building strength, stability and self-reliance in partnership with families in need of decent and affordable housing. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Affordable Homeownership
Habitat for Humanity is not a give-away program. Habitat builds houses with those in need. Volunteer labor is used to build houses to keep building costs low. Partner Applicants invest up to 400 hours of their own labor-sweat equity into building their houses and the houses of others. As Habitat homebuyer pay their mortgages the money goes into a revolving fund that helps build more homes. Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Every day, more and more families find themselves in a struggle to keep a decent roof over their heads.
Caught in punishing cycles of unpredictable rent increases, overcrowded conditions, or lack of access to land and affordable financing, these families live with a constant burden of uncertainty, stress and fear.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Habitat for Humanity knows that safe, decent and affordable shelter plays an absolutely critical role in helping families to create a new cycle, one filled with possibilities and progress. Affordable homeownership frees families and fosters the skills and confidence they need to invest in themselves and their communities. The outcomes can be long-lasting and life-changing.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Habitat depends on financial donations to fund our work. These donations help families build a place they can call home.
We also have a local home improvement store called Habitat ReStore, which sells reusable and surplus building materials, furniture and appliances to the public. The money made from these sales is used to help families in Pasco County build a better future. To donate materials, contact your Zephyrhills Habitat ReStore at 813-395-6994 or [email protected]
For large corporations wishing to make bulk donations of goods and materials, please contact Laurel Weightman at 352-567-1444 or [email protected]
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since our local affiliate founding in 1994, Habitat in Pasco County has helped more than 375 people build the place they call home.
