PIKES PEAK HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Programs
Affordable Homeownership Program
FAMILIES IN NEED OF A DECENT PLACE TO LIVE BUILD SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOMES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH US. HABITAT HOUSES ARE MODESTLY SIZED. THEY ARE LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE HOMEOWNER FAMILY'S NEEDS, BUT SMALL ENOUGH TO KEEP CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS AFFORDABLE. BY USING THE LABOR OF VOLUNTEERS AND PROSPECTIVE HOMEOWNERS, EMPLOYING EFFICIENT BUILDING METHODS, KEEPING HOUSE SIZES MODEST, USING DONATED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND APPLIANCES, AND ISSUING NO-PROFIT LOANS, HABITAT MAKES ITS HOUSES AFFORDABLE FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES TO PURCHASE. AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP HELPS CREATE THE CONDITIONS THAT FREE FAMILIES FROM INSTABILITY, STRESS AND FEAR AND ENCOURAGE SELF-RELIANCE AND CONFIDENCE. STUDIES SHOW THAT STRONG AND STABLE HOUSEHOLDS ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH. WHEN A HOME FOSTERS - INSTEAD OF HINDERS - HEALTH AND SAFETY, FAMILIES CAN FLOURISH. OWNING AN AFFORDABLE HOME ALSO ALLOWS HOMEOWNERS TO LIFT UP THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY BY SAVING FOR THEIR FUTURES AND INVESTING IN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, BOLSTERING JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND LONG-TERM CAREER GROWTH. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2023, PIKES PEAK HABITAT SERVED FIVE FAMILIES WITH NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION THROUGH ITS HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM, AS WELL AS MORE THAN 80 HOUSEHOLDS WHOSE MORTGAGES WE SERVICED/MANAGED DURING FISCAL YEAR 2023. OUR HOME REPAIR PROGRAM IS AN OUTREACH INITIATIVE THAT SEEKS TO PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW- TO MODERATE-INCOME HOMEOWNERS, INCLUDING VETERANS AND SENIORS, WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF AGE, DISABILITY OR FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES. WE PARTNER WITH FAMILIES TO HELP THEM REPAIR THEIR HOMES WITH PRIDE AND DIGNITY. THE PROGRAM ALLOWS FAMILIES TO STAY IN THEIR HOME AND AVOID THE UNCERTAINTY, TRAUMA AND EXPENSE OF MOVING. PROJECTS CONSIST OF INTERIOR AND/OR EXTERIOR REPAIRS INTENDED TO ALLEVIATE CRITICAL HEALTH, LIFE AND SAFETY ISSUES OR CODE VIOLATIONS. VOLUNTEER TEAMS WORK ALONG WITH SUBCONTRACTORS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF PIKES PEAK HABITAT STAFF MEMBERS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS. SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE HOME REPAIR PROGRAM, PIKES PEAK HABITAT HAS PARTNERED WITH 43 LOCAL HOMEOWNERS, 27 OF WHOM WERE SERVED DURING FY2023. AS PART OF THE HOMEOWNERSHIP PROCESS, WE BELIEVE FINANCIAL EDUCATION BUILDS A MORE SOLID FOUNDATION FOR LONG-TERM PERSONAL SUCCESS AND HELPS ALLEVIATE ANY CONCERNS OR BARRIERS ON THE PATH TO HOMEOWNERSHIP. DURING THESE FINANCIAL EDUCATION CLASSES, WE COVER TOPICS SUCH AS BUDGETING; CREDIT CARDS AND CREDIT REPORTS; DEBT AND LOANS; SAVING, INVESTING AND PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE; EMERGENCY SITUATIONS; AND HABITAT HOMEOWNER MORTGAGES. A MORE IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF THESE IMPORTANT CONCEPTS IS A TOOL THAT CAN BE USED TO BUILD A BETTER FUTURE.
