Mission Statement
Mission: Building strength, stability and self-reliance AND shelter. People in our community and all over the world partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their houses alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.
About This Cause
Flatirons Habitat for Humanity (Flatirons Habitat) partners with low-income families by offering homeownership opportunities and other programs to break their cycle of poverty. We partner with individuals and families by empowering them to achieve economic stability and self-sufficiency through our high impact programs. Flatirons Habitat is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their shelter conditions. Habitat for Humanity was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, durable place to live in dignity and safety, and that decent shelter in decent communities should be a matter of conscience and action for all. For more than 25 years Flatirons Habitat transforms lives and communities by building simple, energy-efficient, affordable homes for low-income families living in Boulder and Broomfield communities. Flatirons Habitat has served the community building on the philosophy that Flatirons Habitat gives a hand up, not a hand out through partnership with low-income families. Each adult family member is required to build on their own home and contribute 225 hours of "sweat-equity". Flatirons Habitat is committed to achieving the highest standards of energy-efficient and green building, we build to LEED Platinum standards. Habitat's Boulder units are permanently affordable, through a covenant with the City of Boulder, to families with income of 30 - 80% AMI. Partner families purchase their homes at cost with an affordable mortgage and will never pay more than 30% of their household income on housing. Our volunteers help build houses, assist at our ReStore in Broomfield, help us in our office in Lafayette and mentor families through our homeownership Program. On average our volunteers donate over 16,875 hours a year on building homes along side low-income families at our construction site and over 7,200 hours a year at our ReStore. Come build with us! We build Wednesday through Saturday on varying schedules depending on our active work sites. No need for construction experience, just a willing heart to support our mission of affordable housing. We have new construction, critical home repair and home rehab projects throughout our service area. Bring your company out for a” Team Build”. It is an investment in the mission of Flatirons Habitat for Humanity; building a stronger future for the families we serve, as well as the community. It also is a great way to build your team’s cohesion and enthusiasm!
