Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas is part of a global, nonprofit housing organization operated on Christian principles that seek to put God's love into action by building homes, communities, and hope. We are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing safe, decent homes; rehabilitating and preserving homes; advocating for fair and just housing policies; and providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions.
Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman, and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter should be a matter of conscience and action for all.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas homeowner model uses the "pay it forward" method. We build in partnership with low to moderate income families and individuals who would otherwise not qualify for a traditional mortgage. Through donations, of equipment, product, and capital we are able to provide a brand new home at a zero percent interest rate for the new homeowner.
Our homes are sold at zero profit to the homeowner and their payments are placed back into the program allowing more homes to be built. In lieu of a down payment, applicant devote 350+ hours of sweat equity hours to help build their home and serve in other volunteer capacities with Habitat.
We also provide a neighborhood revitalization program that embraces an integrated, collaborative approach to community development. Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas works in coalition with neighborhood residents and partners to address the many elements that contribute to a higher quality of life, including healthcare, safety, and economic development, in addition to housing.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have a very dedicated base of supporters at Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas. From volunteers to financial contributors, we are able to build safe, decent, houses and revitalize the neighborhoods at very minimal costs because of the volunteers and financial contributors.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas has built over 175 homes and rehabbed over 400 homes in Pulaski and Lonoke Counties, built over 30 homes overseas, and kept over 9.9 million pounds of reusable materials out of Central Arkansas landfills through our Habitat for Humanity Restores.
We plan to continue building and rehabbing homes in Central Arkansas. We are focusing our neighborhood revitalization efforts in Southwest Little Rock to show what is possible when people concentrate their work in one area of the city. After this area is complete we plan to continue work in another focused area.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
