Overview

Mission

Habitat for humanity greater orlando & osceola's mission is "seeking to put god's love into action, habitat for humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope". We build homes. We revitalize neighborhoods. We strengthen communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Homeownership program - families in need of a decent place to live build stable and affordable homes in partnership with us. Habitat houses are modestly sized. They are large enough for the homeowner family's needs, but small enough to keep construction and maintenance costs affordable. By using the labor of volunteers and prospective homeowners, employing efficient building methods and keeping house sizes modest, habitat makes its houses affordable for low-income families to purchase. Affordable homeownership helps create the conditions that free families from instability, stress and fear and encourage self-reliance and confidence. Studies show that strong and stable households are foundational to child development and growth. When a home fosters - instead of hinders -health and safety, families can flourish. Owning an affordable home also allows homeowners to lift up their entire family by saving for their futures and investing in educational opportunities, bolstering job opportunities and long-term career growth.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

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.
