How We Do It
St. Vrain Habitat has maintained the lowest cost-of-construction for a single family home among all local housing developers, both commercial and non-profit.
Volunteers
St. Vrain Habitat is blessed with people who are willing to donate their time and talents to help others realize the dream of affordable homeownership. Volunteers provide the “backbone” of our work.
In-Kind Services
Some individuals and companies provide in-kind goods or professional services. Pro-bono labor and donated construction materials allow Habitat to build more homes in a shorter amount of time and reduce construction costs.
Mortgage Payments
Habitat homeowners pay an affordable home mortgage, which in turn, helps us finance the building of more homes. 52% of our funding in a given year comes from Habitat homeowner mortgages.
Donations
St. Vrain Habitat is proud to partner with local corporations, faith organizations, foundations, and generous individuals and families. None of our work is possible without our community’s financial support.
Staff Leadership
By bringing diverse skill sets to the orgnaization, the St. Vrain Habitat staff collaborate to develop new programs to educate the community, identify areas of opportunity, partner with other affiliates to expand impact, and increase the number of families served.
ReStore
The ReStore sells donated low-cost new and gently used home improvement goods to the public. Proceeds from ReStore sales support the building of affordable homes.
