Overview
Mission
For 30 years, Flint River Habitat for Humanity has devoted its energy to providing safe, decent and affordable housing to those families who qualify. Our goal at Habitat is to provide a safe, affordable place for everyone to live. That is where our Homeowner Program comes in! This program provides a way for a Habitat homeowner to purchase a Habitat home at a 0% interest rate. See our basic qualifications for the Homeowner Program and the Dougherty/Lee County 2025 HUD guidelines based on home size below. If you are interested in applying for our Homeownership Program and meet the HUD guidelines below based on your family size, complete our interest form and a Habitat staff member will be in contact to go over the next steps.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization is a local chapter of habitat for humanity international. Their mission is to provide affordable housing to low income people through zero interest loans.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 89% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
