growing together

Annual Report
"Your support was a catalyst that allows us to take bold leaps forward in pursuit of a Greater Cincinnati where everyone has a decent place to live."
A letter from the CEO
Dear friends,
​
There is undeniable excitement during a period of growth. Growth in the number of families served, homes repaired, and staff hired. Growth evident in Habitat children as they flourish in a stable home, and parents when they can finally relax and look to the future. Times like these are abuzz with contagious energy and a vision of possibility.
​
As we begin this new year, and reflect on the past one, I am inspired by the growth we achieved together. Thanks to your partnership – through generous gifts, volunteerism, and steadfast support – we partnered with 162 families to build, repair and renovate homes in the Tri-State area. Six cohorts of Construction Training Program students graduated with increased opportunities to grow their careers. We opened our sixth ReStore to expand our income sources to allow us to do more.
​
At Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati we know that this period of expansion is only possible because of you. Your support was a catalyst that allows us to take bold leaps forward in pursuit of a Greater Cincinnati where everyone has a decent place to live. We sincerely thank you for your generosity and trust in our mission.
​
As we enter a new year, I hope that you too feel the excitement – excitement for what is possible. As we witness today's housing needs of our community firsthand, your support gives us the power to build on this progress in new and innovative ways in the coming year. We know that as we grow together, we can change more lives through the transformative power of home.
​
With gratitude,
​Joe Hansbauer
President & CEO
