Mission

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity was created as a support organization for Habitat for Humanity affiliates in the Chicago area. Habitat is committed to creating opportunities for individuals and families to thrive; to revitalizing neighborhoods and building communities; and to helping transform generations through home ownership. We do this by making housing affordable to hardworking people without access to conventional financing and offer individuals a hand up, fueled by our belief in dignity, self‐sufficiency, collaboration, and hope.

Charting impact

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

Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity is a support organization for the eight Habitat for Humanity affiliates in the Chicagoland area. We leverage the capacity of the affiliates by leading regional fundraising, marketing, advocacy efforts, and offering shared services. Our goals are to help affiliates to serve more families in need through affordable housing development and affordable home repairs, and to raise awareness of affordable housing needs in the region.

Strategies

1. Raise awareness of Habitat for Humanity in the Metro region through collaborative digital marketing and media engagement
2. Implement best practices across affiliates to serve more families by bringing increased capital for housing development, coordinating a regional repair program, securing region-wide grants and government funding for housing development and repairs
3. Increasing affiliates’ capacity through fundraising training and tools, and DEI training and support

Habitat for Humanity is a global housing organization working in over 70 countries and over 1000 communities in the United States. We are the largest non-profit affordable housing developer in the US. The Habitat affiliates in this region have been at work in communities for over 40 years and have served over 1500 families through homeownership or home repair in the last decade alone.

In Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan, we set a goal to raise $4M over 3 years to help affiliates triple the number of families served through repairs. In the first year alone, we have raised over $2M.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
