PIKES PEAK HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

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. DURING FY 2025, PIKES PEAK HABITAT SERVED NINE FAMILIES WITH NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION THROUGH ITS HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM, AS WELL AS MORE THAN 80 HOUSEHOLDS WHOSE MORTGAGES WE SERVICED/MANAGED DURING FISCAL YEAR 2025.
