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 habitat's team members to complete the repairs. In the fiscal year ending june 30, 2025, we served 259 homeowners and their families.

In addition, the restore furthers the habitat mission by allowing families who do not have the funds toafford typical rehab opportunities to be able to fix up their own homes and has an environmental component by keeping items that would typically end up in a landfill in use. Our partner families are required to serve in the restore to learn valuable skills about customer service and home repair.

The organization over time
