Overview

Mission

To provide affordable housing for low income families.

What it reported doing in 2024

We work to build decent affordable housing for individuals and families who demonstrate they have a housing need., their current housing is substandard or lacks accessibility they have the ability to pay. We do not give away houses. A monthly mortgage payment incuding taxes and insurance is required and they are willing to partner with us. The homeowner must agree to put in at least 300 hours of sweat equity. Griffin Area Habitat provides a hand-up and not a hand-out.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
