Habitat Home Construction:

Habitat affiliates work locally in communities around the world to select and support homeowners, organize volunteers, and coordinate home construction. Since 1987, the Habitat MidOhio affiliate has built, rehabbed and repaired more than 1,000 houses in Franklin, Licking and Madison Counties. For every Habitat home that we build, several hundred volunteers contribute more than 2,000 hours of construction labor. The families selected for our program are first-time homebuyers who earn 30-60% of median income and currently live in substandard housing. Families are selected based on their need for housing, their ability to repay an affordable mortgage, and their willingness to partner with Habitat to help build their own house and other Habitat houses through 200-250 hours of sweat equity. We seek to empower families by providing economic opportunity, homeownership education, long-term partnership, and hands-on learning. Homes are carefully designed to accommodate each family’s needs and blend in with surrounding houses in the neighborhoods we serve, while at the same time allowing for simple and affordable construction. Habitat homes are designed to maintain their value. A new Habitat home provides an asset to the entire community, as well as the partner family. We work with local commissions and civic associations to ensure that each new Habitat home is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. 

Home Repair Program:

In 2012, we began the Home Repair Program which allows us to continue our commitment to the communities we serve through affordable home repairs. Benefiting low-income homeowners and supporting neighborhood revitalization, The program has taken on projects ranging from safety and code violations, accessibility modifications and dilapidated porch replacements. This program enables current homeowners and their families to continue living in and maintaining a safe, decent and affordable dwelling allowing the longevity and success of both the family and the neighborhoods in which they live. Additionally, the Home Repair program allows low-income families to age safely and affordably, in place. This program presents a holistic approach to neighborhood revitalization allowing for greater impact and long-term stability in the neighborhoods we serve. Partner families must own and occupy their home for a least one year, be current on mortgage and property taxes, earn between 0-80% Area Median Income; be willing to partner with us through sweat equity and payback a portion of the repair cost.

Habitat for Humanity-MidOhio ReStores:

ReStores play an important role in the effort to combat the affordable housing crisis in central Ohio. Our ReStore locations accept donations of new and reusable building materials, housewares, appliances and home improvement products, and then resell these items to the general public at discount prices. ReStores benefit the local community by: diverting more than 2,000 tons of usable materials from landfills each year; generating operating revenue to offset administrative costs; and providing affordable materials and supplies making it possible for low and moderate-income local residents to repair and improve their homes. Our three central-Ohio locations include: ReStore Westerville Road (3140 Westerville Road, Columbus, 43224); ReStore Newark (1660 N. 21st Street, Newark, 43055); and ReStore Bethel Road (2555 Bethel Road, Columbus, 43220).
