  1. $5.3 million spent. FAMILIES IN NEED OF A DECENT PLACE TO LIVE BUILD SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOMES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH US. HABITAT HOUSES ARE MODESTLY SIZED LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE HOMEOWNER FAMILY'S NEEDS, BUT SMALL ENOUGH TO KEEP CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS AFFORDABLE. VOLUNTEERS AND FUTURE HOMEOWNERS HELP BUILD OUR HOMES, AND ALONG WITH DONATED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND APPLIANCES, AND NO-PROFIT LOANS, HABITAT HOMES ARE AFFORDABLE FOR LOW-INCOME AND WORKFORCE FAMILIES TO PURCHASE. AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP PROVIDES STABILITY AND ENCOURAGES SELF-RELIANCE AND CONFIDENCE. STRONG AND STABLE HOUSEHOLDS ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH, AS WELL AS HEALTH AND SAFETY. HOMEOWNERS CAN SAVE FOR THEIR FUTURES AND INVEST IN EDUCATION, BOLSTERING JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND LONG-TERM CAREER GROWTH.

THE STORES ACCEPT TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS OF NEW AND SLIGHTLY USED BUILDING MATERIALS, SUPPLIES, AND HOME FURNISHINGS AND SELL THE ITEMS BELOW RETAIL PRICE. BY ACCEPTING THESE DONATIONS, THE RESTORES DIVERTED AN ESTIMATED 385 TONS OF DONATED MATERIALS FROM LANDFILLS IN FY 2025. THE RESTORES ALSO RECYCLE METAL AND CARDBOARD, INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF MATERIALS DIVERTED FROM THE LANDFILL, AS WELL AS GENERATING REVENUE FOR BUILDING HOUSES. ADDITIONALLY, A LIMITED AMOUNT OF NEW ITEMS IS PURCHASED FOR SALE AT AFFORDABLE PRICES.

OUR HOME PRESERVATION PROGRAM IS AN INITIATIVE THAT PROVIDES REPAIR SERVICES TO 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 RECLAIM THEIR HOMES WITH PRIDE AND DIGNITY. THE PROGRAM ALLOWS FAMILIES TO STAY IN THEIR HOME AND AVOID THE UNCERTAINTY, TRAUMA, AND EXPENSE OF MOVING.
