In FY 2024, Northeast Texas Habitat reached an incredible milestone: serving over 1,000 households since we began. By year's end, we had raised the total to 1,149. Each number represents a family with a safer, more stable place to call home through our ownership, repair, and home intervention services. We partner with low-income workers, the elderly, persons with disabilities, and veterans in Gregg, Harrison, and Upshur counties to build quality, affordable homes and to repair health and safety hazards in owner-occupied homes. We also operate a ReStore where anyone can purchase, at below retail, materials to build, repair, or beautify their homes. Habitat responds to local disasters with repair services and operates a ReStore Disaster voucher program for individuals who have lost or damaged homes from a home disaster (fire, flood, etc.) We build affordable new homes that our partners help to construct and then buy at cost with an affordable mortgage based on their income status. The homeownership program allows families to move from unsafe, unaffordable, overcrowded situations to a healthy, safe environment in which the family can thrive.
