What Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut Inc does
Mission
Habitat for Humanity of Eastern connecticut, Inc., in the spirit of sharing, creates affordable homeownership opportunities for households in our community. This is achieved through dedicated efforts of volunteers and community partners who find rewarding experiences by sharing their time, talents, and resources. Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of others, fulfill the dream of homeownership, and be a solution to housing inequity in Eastern Connecticut.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In FY25, the affiliate sold 2 homes to local families, re-located a ReStore location, and have an additional 7 properties under some phase of construction. All homes under construction are completely funded. Attended by our friends in local community housing organizations, along with our community finance partners, we hosted a first-time Homeowner Readiness Resource Fair open to all renters in eastern CT and drew over 50 households. The first and second groups of new homeowner partners were voted into the re-designed homeownership program, so were now partnering with 6-8 families at a time (our ultimate goal for # homes sold/year is 8-10)

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $5.0M to $6.2M (+23%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 15% · 2018 2% · 2019 6% · 2020 4% · 2023 10% · 2024 10%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
44% of Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (39% for the typical peer).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
45% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut Inc.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $79k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
