Mission Statement
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
About This Cause
Habitat for Humanity has a vision of a community where all people have a decent place to live. Habitat builds houses in partnership with families ready to make affordable housing a priority in their lives. The Habitat homebuyer program offers partnership opportunities based on three criteria: the applicant’s immediate need based on their current housing situation, their willingness to partner and complete 200-300 hours of volunteer work, and their ability to pay an affordable mortgage. Families that partner with Habitat buy their homes. Their mortgage payments are reasonable for the household’s income and help fund future Habitat homes. Our affiliate serves Dubuque and Jackson Counties and has been in operation since 1991. We have served four (4) families with homes in Jackson County and 22 families with homes in Dubuque county. Our volunteers also assist several households through the A Brush with Kindness Program (ABWK). When we partner with a family to improve their housing, Habitat volunteers donate the labor and the homeowner pays for the materials. Together we complete home repairs the homeowner would be unable to do on their own. In 2019, Dubuque and Jackson Counties Habitat announced plans to open a Habitat ReStore in Dubuque. ReStores accept donated household items and building materials and sell them to the public for a fraction of the cost. The sales from donated items help us build more homes for families that are unable to enter the housing market with traditional loans. The ReStore opened in 2022 and serves as a donation center and retail center where shoppers can purchase home improvement items at an affordable cost while supporting a great cause. We welcome volunteers to our Board of Directors, committees, ReStore, and home builds. When you volunteer with Habitat, you become part of a community tackling the complex issues around affordable housing in a way that strengthens individuals, families, and neighborhoods.
