What Will You Build?
Your support produces tangible results–a safe, decent and affordable home for a hardworking family in need. With your help, Habitat Newburgh succeeds in building strong neighborhoods through homeownership–the most basic building block of any vibrant community.
A decent place to live can remove barriers to opportunity, success, and health that might have been part of a family's life for years, if not generations. Habitat homeowners receive financial education, help build their houses, and pay an affordable mortgage. A decent place to call home and an affordable mortgage create a situation where homeowners can save more, invest in education, pursue opportunity and have more financial stability.
Habitat Newburgh serves as the general contractor on all its new and rehabilitation construction projects and does what no other business or government entity can do–leverage every dollar donated through planned use of volunteer labor and donated materials. For ever dollar received, at least 85 cents goes directly to our program costs.
“We would like our own house for our children. To have space for each of them. We want them to have a better future”
-Juana, Future Habitat Homeowner
homes, communities, hope + YOU
“Right now we’re being told to stay home to stay safe, but a lot of people both before and during COVID-19 don’t have a place to go. At Habitat Newburgh, we’re working to make sure people have that home, that safe place to ride the storms out.” – Matt Arbolino, Executive Director
The past several months have brought new challenges to all of our lives. The pandemic has had a profound impact not just on how we keep our families safe from harm, but where. For those with a stable place to live, shelter in place has meant staying somewhere safe – home – but for far too many families, home is neither safe nor adequate
We have been forced to cancel our Builders Blitz scheduled for September due to the pandemic. The result of this one week build would have been a complete home – a real home for Juana, Jonathan, and their children. Your donation – matched dollar for dollar up to $20,000 – will allow us to begin construction on their house and make it possible for them to begin their new life.
Thank you for helping to ensure this family has a decent and affordable place to call home. Habitat is needed now more than ever, and now more than ever, we need you.
