Overview

Mission

Build a home, inc. Is a faith-based ministry formed to support, encourage, and guide those in transitional seasons of life; to find foundational strength, tangible and spiritually to sustain change. Assisting, first single parent families and then singles displaced from the family unit, to recover and restore a new path with a temporary life structure.

What it reported doing in 2025

We partnered with two organizations to offer after-school programs and summer camp for at-risk youth to develop social and emotional learning skills. The after-school program ranged from one to four days a week to provide a base camp for activities and provide food for 10 to 20 kids in attendance. The summer camp ran eight weeks and had about 40 students attending each week. Build a home provided food for the families involved in the programs by sending bags of food home with each family during every two-week session and during the holiday breaks.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
