Habitat for Humanity Tucson Inc

Habitat for Humanity Tucson partners with low-income individuals and families to build or improve a safe and stable place to call home. Utilizing volunteer efforts, Habitat Tucson builds and rehabilitates market quality homes to sell to eligible low-income families with a non-interest-bearing mortgage. Habitat homeowners help build their homes alongside volunteers, completing 250 hours per applicant of "sweat equity" through home construction or in another form of service to Habitat Tucson. This fiscal year, Habitat sold 19 new energy efficient homes to low-income families in Pima County. (this next part is continued on Sched O).Habitat Tucson also partners with the community to provide critical and minor home repair services, which include roof replacements, mechanical system upgrades, exterior repairs, landscaping and neighborhood clean ups and minor interior modifications. These services support long-term health & safety livability for eligible families. In total, 18 comprehensive home repair projects were completed, which include 8 A Brush with Kindness projects. In addition, as part of Habitat's global impact partnership, 34 families in Mexico, Bangladesh, Dominican Republic, and Nepal have access to adequate shelter, potable water, and sanitation.

The HabiStore receives donated furniture, appliances, other household items and construction-related materials to sell which generates revenue to support the Habitat Tucson mission. This year, the donated items generated $2.3 million dollars in sales and diverted over 1,300 tons of usable materials from the landfill. These sales supported Habitat Tucson programs including new home construction, home repair, 'A Brush with Kindness', homeowner and volunteer services, and community outreach partnerships.
