Overview
Mission
Greater lycoming habitat for humanity (glhfh) works with low to moderate income residents of lycoming and eastern clinton counties to promote, educate about, assist with and advocate for safe, decent, affordable housing. Glhfh manages residential construction and home preservation programs as well as operates a store that sells new and used building components and home goods to support the activity of the habitat affiliate.
What it reported doing in 2024
Home ownership / construction program greater lycoming habitat for humanity (glhfh) builds homes for low to moderate income families using mostly volunteer labor and donated or reduced-cost materials. Interested family partners must apply and proceed through a qualification process for a 0% interest mortgage. Glhfh holds and services (in cooperation with woodlands bank) the mortgages and works with the families throughout the course of their loan to keep owners current on their mortgages, taxes and insurance. Qualified selected families must also contribute 250 hours of "sweat equity" through hands-on work during the home build phase. The land available and the neighborhood zoning for new home construction considered, most glhfh homes are two- story, 3 bedrooms, and have 1200-1600 square feet of living space. During the fiscal year no homes were sold to new owners and construction continued on a new home.
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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
