Overview
Mission
Seeking to put god's love into action, habitat brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
What it reported doing in 2024
Dupage habitat works in partnership with future homeowners and the community. Dupage habitat helps families achieve or preserve the dream of homeownership by either building new or rehabilitating existing homes, and providing an affordable mortgage where no more than 30% of the household income is used for a house payment, taxes and insurance. Homes match the community they are in to maintain or increase surrounding home values. Like every builder, dupage habitat homes must conform with all local building codes and must pass inspections to ensure quality construction and liveability. While building in a community, varying levels of neighborhood revitalization occur through collaborative efforts with local community representatives in areas such as education, economic development, public safety, neighborhood involvement and pride, as well as activities for youth and seniors.
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 99% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
