current projects Where We Build Since 1986, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati has built homes all over the Tri-State area. We build single family homes on scattered sites, rehab historic homes, and sometimes we build entire neighborhoods and connected town homes. Where we build is often determined by available land and community support. As we grow to meet the needs of our community, we are looking for innovative solutions and building larger developments to increase homeownership opportunities in our community.

“Being able to stay stable in the house and the community I’ve known for my whole life means a lot. It’s great” < Return to Annual Report Spotlight: Repair Program George and Darla's Story George, a veteran, and his wife Darla have lived in their home for 12 years, but for George, his ties to the house go back generations. “I grew up two doors down. My grandmother lived in this house, and my aunt. I remember being here as a child. There are pictures of me as a boy in this house.” George and Darla reached out to Habitat for Humanity to help replace the gutters and downspouts of their 100-year-old family home. “I don’t have to worry about the gutters every time it rains now, or we get a windstorm because, once the first one started falling off I knew it was a just a matter of time before they all came down,” says Darla. “I’m a big worry wart and I know gutters are a very expensive thing to do.” “We can’t afford to fix things as they break unfortunately, so the repairs have definitely helped us be able to stay here in our home. We can’t afford to go out and pay rent that goes up every year. When you own your own house, you don’t have to worry about all that stuff. You don’t have to worry about getting evicted. We have six cats and a dog. In a rental, we wouldn’t be able to keep our animals,” says Darla. “Being able to stay stable in the house and the community I’ve known for my whole life means a lot. It’s great,” says George. Their stability extends beyond the couple. Darla’s daughter and their two grandchildren also live in the home. “I grew up with this house and now the grandchildren are doing the same thing. This is the only home they’ve ever had and we’ll pass it along to them too eventually,” says George “Stability means a lot. Especially as you get older,” says Darla. “We like to get out and sit on the porch and watch the birds and the squirrels. […] We really can’t go anywhere in the neighborhood without running into someone we know. A lot of people have grown up here. It’s a little bit of a family town.” As we left George and Darla’s home, George says,” she is worried about less now.” “Yes, one less thing to worry about,” says Darla. With your help, the Critical Repair Program provides much-needed stability and independence for aging homeowners in our community. donate today! more homeowner stories

These are our first builds in Northern Kentucky in about 6 years. Located just north of Devou Park, these homes will be located less than 2 miles from the Covington Business District offering new homeowners many nearby opportunities for employment, entertainment, and recreation. These homes are sponsored by the Pope Leo Village campaign. About the homes: 8 homes on John Street and one home on Parkway Ave. Construction is currently underway and will continue through 2026. All of the homes will be built on infill lots where historic homes once stood. Because each lot is unique, our architecture team has worked to select models that suit each lot. All the homes have at least 3 bedrooms and will be both one- and two-story homes. Two of the homes will be adjoined to form a duplex. Like all the homes we build, these models were selected to compliment the style and characteristics of other homes in the neighborhood. Program Details Like all Habitat homes, the Botany Hills Covington homes are income-restricted to those making 30-80% of the area median income. Habitat homebuyers will work alongside staff and volunteers to build their homes and will purchase the home with a 0% interest affordable mortgage that is at or below 30% of their income.

July 1, 2022- June 30, 2023 Annual Report Introduction | Programs & Services | Volunteers | ReStore | Donors | Financials "Our shared commitment to affordable housing and building community will reach new heights. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we are changing lives and building a stronger, more vibrant Cincinnati." A letter from the CEO Growing Together Dear Friends, As I reflect on my first year as CEO of this incredible organization, I am filled with gratitude and excitement. Over the past year, we have achieved remarkable milestones together, and I am eager to share our progress and vision with you. We can’t thank you enough for all that you helped accomplish in the last year. Despite the challenges we've faced following the pandemic, this year has been one of significant achievements. At the beginning of the year, we expanded the Critical Repair Program and introduced Aging in Place. We are now able to partner with older low-income homeowners to repair and modify their homes to ensure safety and independence as they age. This new initiative was met with overwhelming interest from the community setting in motion an exponential growth plan for our home repair programs. This year alone, we improved living conditions of 66 households, a 164% increase from the year before. With your help, we built 16 new homes, marking the highest number of homes constructed in a single year since the onset of the pandemic. These homes represent stable and affordable housing solutions for 16 first-time homebuyer families in Greater Cincinnati. In the spring, we formed a partnership with CityLink to lead a workforce development program. The Habitat Construction Training Program empowers individuals to enter careers in commercial and residential construction. Our deep knowledge as a top builder paired with CityLink’s expertise in removing barriers to student success is creating brighter futures. We know that a strong construction workforce is critical to our vision of strong communities and affordable housing. As we look forward, we are embarking on a season of unprecedented growth. Housing affordability is one of the most pressing issues facing our community, and with our ambitious strategic plan, we will rise to the challenge as an equitable and sustainable solution to the current housing crisis. This year, we will take advantage of one-time relief funding from the State of Ohio and Hamilton County to build and repair more homes. The generous gift from Mackenzie Scott will allow us to grow our team immediately and sustain expanded operations. The opening of the sixth Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Loveland will provide additional revenue needed to create more opportunities for affordable homeownership in our community. As we look ahead to the challenges and opportunities of the coming year, we do so with confidence, knowing that our shared commitment to affordable housing and building community will continue to make a profound impact. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we are changing lives and building a stronger, more vibrant Cincinnati. With Gratitude, Joe Hansbauer President & CEO “Living with [my mom] actually helped me buy my own home. [...] It literally was the foundation for myself to be able to build off of for my family.” -Alisha, daughter of Habitat homeowner Affordable Homeownership Impacts Generations Sheree and Alishi a 's Story The Year at a Glance July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023 115 households partnered with Habitat for Humanity Greater Cincinnati to build or improve their homes two new programs launched: Aging in Place, and Construction Training Program 1,930 volunteers gave over 30,941 hours of their time 13 new policies and initiatives were implemented as part of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan Award Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati was voted a Top Workplace in Greater Cincinnati 99 households improved their homes through the Critical Repair Programs and Rock the Block "When I think about building and buying a new home with Habitat, what immediately comes to mind, is building a community. A community built among the current and future homeowners who shared a similar journey. The community that was built amongst the construction team, and the community connections that were made with all the volunteers who shared their stories. Each and every interaction holds a special place in my heart. For my family and I, becoming a homeowner means carrying on traditions that I had growing up as a child. But also carrying and creating new traditions of my own. We have so many memories to be created within these walls. Most importantly, homeownership means we created a legacy--a legacy for my children. And from the financial homeownership classes, […] I can now pass this knowledge on to my children so they can also make wise choices as they grow older and travel on their own journey in life's adventure. Most importantly, I cannot create my family's legacy without thanking the legacy of Habitat for Humanity […] whose vision has empowered affordable homeownership but also the immense amount of appreciation, knowledge, and skills learned and gained plus the rewarding feeling of being hands-on and partnering with so many wonderful and encouraging people that I would never forget." -Felicia Habitat Homeowner, 2023, Evanston Your Impact: Programs & Services Creating A ffordable Homeownership 16 families became first-time homeowners through the Affordable Homeownership Program 81% of new homeowners this year were minorities. 75% of homes were purchased by single mothers with minor children 12 mortgages were paid off in full 6 new homeowners work in the healthcare industry 26 kids moved into Habitat homes this year Habitat’s homeownership program sells homes to families with affordable, 30-year, zero-interest mortgages, helping first-time homeowners enter the market and build equity.
