What Habitat for Humanity - Sanford Area does
Mission
Seeking to put god's love into action, habitat for humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope to realize our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Habitat for humanity of the sanford area, nc inc adheres to a strict non-proselytizing policy and will not base an offer of assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
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 local small businesses and prospective homeowners volunteer hours, employing efficient building methods, keeping house sizes modest, using donated and or discounted materials and appliances, and issuing non 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 2025 24 families were served through home builds and home repairs.

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 2023 to 2024, from $2.5M to $3.3M (+32%).
