Overview

Mission

White sands habitat for humanity builds and renovates homes in the greater alamogordo, nm area through voulunteer labor and with the assistance of future homeowners. Habitat houses are sold to low income families at below cost and financed by habitat with no interest mortgages. Habitat's program is funded through contributions, in-kind donations and grants from indiviudals, foundations, corporations, and government agencies, and sales of donated merchandise at its restore location.

What it reported doing in 2023

Homes are constructed or remodeled and transferred to low income working families, and the restore operates to sell new and gently used donated building supplies, household appliances, fixtures and furnishings.

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

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.
