Affordable homeownership is a critical component of a healthy economy and a primary path to build generational wealth. Due to a rapidly rising population and associated soaring home prices, affordable homeownership is increasingly out of reach for many low to moderate income residents of the greater Fredericksburg area.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Homebuying Program
Providing the opportunity to purchase an affordable home in Fredericksburg, King George, Spotsylvania, or Stafford County. Loans are offered either through Habitat for Humanity or a qualified third party provider.
Habitat for Humanity ReStore
The ReStore sells donated items including building supplies, furniture, appliances, and other home goods. Donated items that are appropriate for Habitat home builds are re-directed to a build site. The ReStore also serves as a community resource by donating requested materials to local nonprofits, social service agencies, and houses of worship and to their pre-screened clients.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Habitat seeks to address this problem by building and/or renovating property with the help of volunteers, and offering or facilitating access to affordable home mortgages to purchase homes.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
-Recruit eligible applicants who demonstrate need, ability to repay, and willingness to partner
-Build/renovate homes and sell them at affordable prices
-Engage volunteers to reduce the overall cost of homes and build awareness of the need for housing.
-Leverage engaged citizens to advocate for affordable housing solutions, including but not limited to homeownership options.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Habitat has strong capabilities, to make progress due to engaged volunteers and community supporters, as well as an established strategic plan that is reviewed annually. In addition, these capabilities are supported by a national parent organization (Habitat for Humanity International) and a statewide organization (Habitat Virginia).
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
In 2019, Habitat began building five new homes on South Street in the City of Fredericksburg. The first new homeowner (Ryan) moved into their new home in March 2020, the second homeowner (Tammie) moved into her new home in December 2020, and the third homeowner (Joyce) moved into her new home in July 2021, the fourth homeowner (Je'Niqua) moved into her new home in February 2022. We are expecting the fifth and final new home on South Street to have a new homeowner in 2022. We also had a new homeowner (Wendy) move into her rehabbed home in January 2021.
We are currently rehabbing two homes and expect they will both have new homeowners in 2022 as we have program participants that have chosen them. We are planning for new construction and will continue to rehab more homes.
All programs have been slowed due to COVID-19.

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.
