Habitat impacts the lives of Smith County's seniors, veterans and disabled residents who live below the poverty level and live in unsafe or unhealthy homes. Many of these homeowners retired after working for our school districts, medical facilities, and other businesses that provide services our community depends upon. Now that the City of Tyler no longer provides home repair services, most of these individuals have nowhere else to turn but Habitat. In 2019, an average of 30 individuals called Habitat for help every month. Of those over 70% advanced past the first stage of the qualification process. Some were helped immediately due to grant funds awarded for their specific need, while others were placed on a waiting list. Without help from our ReHabitat program, these homeowners will continue to live in unhealthy, unsafe living conditions. HFHSC currently offers five programs: New Construction, Deconstruction (salvages materials form renovations and demolitions), ReHabitat Critical Repair, A Brush with Kindness (utilizes volunteers to paint homes in low-income neighborhoods), and the ReStore home improvement center.
