Mission and programs · 2025

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF METRO LOUISVILLE ADHERES TO A STRICT NON-PROSELYTIZING POLICY AND WILL NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE ON THE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED CONDITION THAT PEOPLE MUST ADHERE TO OR CONVERT TO A PARTICULAR FAITH OR LISTEN AND RESPOND TO MESSAGING DESIGNED TO INDUCE CONVERSION TO A PARTICULAR FAITH.

Activities or mission (Part I)

PROVIDING HOUSING SOLUTIONS OF HOMEOWNERSHIP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOME REPAIR TO QUALIFIED APPLICANTS USING VOLUNTEER AND HOMEBUYER SWEAT EQUITY.

  • HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM: FAMILIES IN NEED OF A DECENT PLACE TO LIVE BUILD SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOMES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH US. HABITAT HOUSES ARE MODESTLY SIZED. THEY ARE LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE HOMEOWNER'S FAMILY'S NEEDS, BUT SMALL ENOUGH TO KEEP CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS AFFORDABLE. BY USING THE LABOR OF VOLUNTEERS AND PROSPECTIVE HOMEOWNERS, EMPLOYING EFFICIENT BUILDING METHODS, KEEPING HOUSE SIZES MODEST, USING DONATED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND APPLIANCES, AND ISSUING NONPROFIT LOANS, HABITAT MAKES ITS HOUSES AFFORDABLE FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES TO PURCHASE. AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP HELPS CREATE THE CONDITIONS THAT FREE FAMILIES FROM INSTABILITY, STRESS AND FEAR AND ENCOURAGE SELF RELIANCE AND CONFIDENCE. STUDIES SHOW THAT STRONG AND STABLE HOUSEHOLDS ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH. WHEN A HOME FOSTERS INSTEAD OF HINDERS HEALTH AND SAFETY, FAMILIES CAN FLOURISH. OWNING AN AFFORDABLE HOME ALSO ALLOWS HOMEOWNERS TO LIFT UP THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY BY SAVING FOR THEIR FUTURES AND INVESTING IN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, BOLSTERING JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND CAREER GROWTH. DURING FISCAL YEAR 2025, HABITAT OF METRO LOUISVILLE SERVED 192 FAMILIES WITH HOUSING SOLUTIONS INCLUDING 31 THROUGH ITS LONG-TERM HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAM AND 161 THROUGH ITS HOME PRESERVATION PROGRAM.

    Expenses $6,831,349 · Grants $806,909 · Revenue $4,753,128

  • MORTGAGE DISCOUNTS: MORTGAGES ARE DISCOUNTED USING AN IMPUTED INTEREST RATE THAT APPROXIMATES THE RATE THAT AN INDEPENDENT BORROWER AND LENDER WOULD HAVE NEGOTIATED IN A SIMILAR TRANSACTION. NEW MORTGAGES EQUALING APPROXIMATELY $4.4 MILLION WERE WRITTEN AND ENTERED INTO IN 2025 AND WERE DISCOUNTED TO REPRESENT THE PRESENT VALUE OF THESE ZERO INTEREST LOANS. IMPUTED INTEREST OF 8.01% IS USED FOR MORTGAGES IN 2025.

    Expenses $2,438,874 · Revenue $1,763,719

  • RESTORE PROGRAM: THE PURPOSE IS TO GENERATE A SUSTAINABLE SOURCE OF INCOME FOR HABITAT OF METRO LOUISVILLE BY DIVERTING USABLE BUILDING MATERIALS, FURNITURE AND APPLIANCES FROM LANDFILLS AND SELLING THOSE DONATED ITEMS TO THE PUBLIC. IN 2025, WE ESTIMATE THAT OVER 2.1 MILLION POUNDS OF MATERIALS WERE DIVERTED FROM LANDFILLS.

    Expenses $1,434,041 · Revenue $1,675,856

  • HOME PRESERVATION PROGRAM: OUR HOME PRESERVATION PROGRAM IS AN OUTREACH INITIATIVE THAT SEEKS TO PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW TO MODERATE INCOME HOMEOWNERS, INCLUDING VETERANS AND SENIORS, WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF AGE, DISABILITY OR FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES. WE PARTNER WITH FAMILIES TO HELP THEM RECLAIM THEIR HOMES WITH PRIDE AND DIGNITY. THE PROGRAM ALLOWS FAMILIES TO STAY IN THEIR HOME AND AVOID THE UNCERTAINTY, TRAUMA AND EXPENSE OF MOVING. PROJECTS CONSIST OF INTERIOR AND/OR EXTERIOR REPAIRS INTENDED TO ALLEVIATE CRITICAL HEALTH, LIFE AND SAFETY ISSUES OR CODE VIOLATIONS. VOLUNTEER TEAMS WORK ALONG WITH SUBCONTRACTORS UNDER THE DIRECTION HABITAT OF METRO LOUISVILLE STAFF MEMBERS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J
